England recalls Steve Harmison

Fast bowler Steve Harmison was added to England\'s squad yesterday for the second Ashes Test against Australia after it was revealed that allrounder Andrew Flintoff needs a scan on a knee injury.



Hosts England held on to draw the first Test in Cardiff on Sunday after their last-wicket stand withstood Australia for 69 balls.



The injury to Flintoff will be a blow to England’s plans for the match at Lord\'s, which starts Thursday. Flintoff was the team\'s most threatening bowler.



Harmison, dropped by England on the West Indies tour earlier this year, recently claimed six wickets for England\'s second-string team in a warm-up game against Australia.
