SA's Steyn to miss fourth Test

Tuesday, 5 August 2008


LONDON, Aug 4 (AFP): South African Dale Steyn has been ruled out of this week's fourth Test against England at the Oval but should be back for the one-day series, BBC reported Sunday.

The 24-year-old paceman suffered a fracture to the base of his left thumb and is due to be in a plaster for another week so he will miss the Oval fixture which starts Thursday. Steyn had to miss South Africa's series-clinching third Test against England at Edgbaston with the injury.
