Seamer Gus Atkinson Adds to England's Fitness Concerns.
'Serious blow' for the touring side as Atkinson goes off with a hamstring injury.
The pace bowler further complicated the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the field during Saturday's play of the Boxing Day Test in the Ashes series.
The right-arm seamer felt a problem in his left leg immediately following a delivery of the fourth over on Saturday.
The England team indicated the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and required time away from the action in order to be assessed "during the day".
The concluding match of the tour in Sydney starts at the end of the week.
The visitors have already lost fast bowlers Mark Wood with a knee problem and Jofra Archer because of a side injury on the current trip.
A replacement bowler was brought into the squad as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time early in the series, claiming a mere three wickets.
He was omitted for the Adelaide match, before being recalled for the Boxing Day match in the playing XI.
The county bowler improved at the MCG, bagging two scalps during the host's first knock, and scoring 28 runs as a batsman as one of just three English batsmen who passed ten runs.
Post a single over late on the first day, he resumed for the second day's play and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.
However, on the final ball of that over, he sent down a change of pace to the batsman and immediately felt at his leg.
Gus Atkinson was brought back for the Melbourne match having missed the previous Test.
