England captain Alastair Cook has confirmed that James Anderson will play no part in the fifth and final Test against India due to soreness.
The 34-year-old had recently recovered from a stress fracture in his shoulder, but has not been deemed fit enough to feature in the dead rubber in Chennai.
"Unfortunately Jimmy is ruled out - he's picked up body soreness from the last game, so he's not going to be risked," Cook told reporters in a press conference.
Stuart Broad will have his fitness assessed today after missing the last two Test matches with a tendon strain in his right foot.
England are 3-0 down in the series, which was won by India on Monday.
