England have called up Liam Plunkett as bowling cover for the one-day international series against Australia.
The Durham paceman will leave the England Lions tour of the Caribbean to join Andrew Strauss' men ahead of the seventh One Day International in Perth, Australia on Sunday.
England's bowling department has been depleted by injuries, with Ajmal Shahzad (hamstring) and Chris Tremlett (side strain) the latest casualties.
Australia go into the match with an unassailable 4-1 lead in the series.
Shahzad and Tremlett will undergo scans today amid fears they will join Tim Bresnan and Graeme Swann, who flew home early from the tour last week, on the sidelines.
