England have confirmed that opening bowler Reece Topley will miss the remainder of the tournament due to a fractured finger sustained during the loss to South Africa on Saturday.

Topley was struck on the finger midway through the opening powerplay of the first innings at the Wankhede Stadium and left the field of play for immediate treatment.

The left-arm seamer returned with heavy strapping to bowl again for England at the death, but struggled to hold the ball with his broken index finger and was part of a bowling attack that were dismantled by Heinrich Klaasen and Marco Jansen.

England are yet to have confirmed their choice of replacement, with an announcement set to come “in due course”.

England will take on Sri Lanka at 8.30pm on Saturday.
