Further assessment of scans have revealed no major structural damage to Joe Denly's injured left knee.

The Kent opener suffered a small sprain to the knee yesterday and will continue to receive treatment over the next 48 hours before undergoing a further assessment early next week, which will determine a recovery timescale.

He has been ruled out of England's second NatWest Series one-day international at Lord's on Sunday.
