Vaughan injury scare for England

England captain Michael Vaughan was sent to hospital for x-rays on a damaged finger after being forced to retire hurt while playing for Yorkshire against Hampshire at the Rose Bowl.

Vaughan, seeking to bat himself into some form after a woeful World Cup, had scored 16 in Yorkshire's second innings when he was struck on the right hand by a sharply rising delivery from Hampshire's Australian pace bowler Stuart Clark.

Yorkshire's director of professional cricket Martyn Moxon confirmed Vaughan would need hospital attention, saying: "We are looking at him now but we will be sending him for an x-ray later. We will have to wait until Friday to see how things develop."

Yorkshire physio Scott McAllister administered some on-field treatment during a five-minute break in play after Vaughan was struck.

Vaughan, who scored 72 in the first innings, opted to carry on but after one more delivery from Clark and two at the other end from James Bruce, Vaughan walked off with out adding to his total.
