 CNNSI.com - Cricket - Harmison replaces injured Jones in England side - Sunday August 04, 2002 05:30 PM
Posted: Sunday August 04, 2002 5:30 PM LONDON (Reuters) -- Durham fast bowler Stephen Harmison has replaced the injured Simon Jones in the England squad for the second test against India starting at Trent Bridge on Thursday.
Harmison's county career has been repeatedly interrupted by injury but, like Jones, he has the raw pace that captain Nasser Hussain has been seeking both against the talented India batting line-up and during the forthcoming Ashes tour of Australia.
With both of England's leading strike bowlers, Darren Gough and Andy Caddick, out through injury, England have modified their requirement that bowlers must prove their fitness in a four-day county match if they are to be considered for selection.

But it was Harmison, fit again after a shin injury, who wrapped up the match with a devastating spell of four for 13 in 22 balls.

Harmison's return was then backed up by Cook (127) and Bell (106 not out) who batted England into a commanding position with their second successive Test hundreds after they had each reached three figures at Lord's.

Manchester (England), July 27: Stephen Harmison’s pace proved too much for Pakistan to handle as the tourists collapsed to 119 all out on the first day of the second Test against England at Old Trafford here on Thursday.
Harmison took 6/19 in just 13 overs, his analysis also featuring an impressive seven maidens, as he made the most of a hard pitch ideally suited for a bowler of his height and bounce.
Harmison’s figures were his best in Test cricket since his 7/12 against West Indies in Jamaica two years ago, the Durham fast bowler giving England’s attack the lead it required — and was often missing in the drawn first Test at Lord’s — in the absence of injured paceman Andrew Flintoff.
