After recovering hurt on day three of Essex’s County Championship match against Somerset, Batter Jordan Cox appears to be out for a Test against Zimbabwe.
After he fell to the ground with his left side and a single that gave him a run that made the score 99 in Essex’s second innings, the 24-year-old needed medical attention.
Cox resumed his innings by hitting a boundary off of Jack Leach to reach his century with 156 balls, but he was unable to join Somerset in his innings.
The former England international was chosen for their one-time Test against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge on May 22 and 25.
Cox has played five white-ball games for his country despite having broken his thumb and being withdrawn from England’s winter tour of New Zealand. He is not capped at the Test level.

Along with her partner Mark Perez and their daughter Nancy, who was born in 2015, she also posed at a number of city landmarks. After completing the 26-mile epic race, Lorraine was seen celebrating with Frankie in the photos, where she gushed about how proud she was of him for winning.

Lorraine starred in EastEnders for seven years before Karen was written out in 2023 after a complicated fake kidnap plot involving her son Keanu Taylor and his girlfriend Sharon Watts son Albie Watts.
Her final scenes, which were aired in December 2023, came after she fled with some of Phil Mitchell’s money.
After the body of murdered Keanu’s body and his funeral, Lorraine did make a brief appearance in 2024 as Karen. Now that her story is complete, Lorraine has asserted that she will never ever return to the soap full.
She said to The Sun last year, “Once you’ve done a soap, you’ve done a soap.” I’m happy doing what I’m doing right now, but I’d like to stop now.

Romeo, the second-eldest son of football player David, addressed the crowd on Saturday night.

Golden child Romeo Beckham stepped up in brother Brooklyn’s absence to deliver a speech at his dad’s 50th birthday, we can reveal. Football legend David Beckham celebrated his 50th birthday in style this weekend with a lavish dinner and party at Core restaurant in London’s Notting Hill.
David’s youngest children Romeo Beckham, 22, Cruz Beckham, 20, and Harper Beckham, 13 were all present and arrived at the bash together in a show of unity. But Brooklyn Beckham, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham, 30, were not at the party and have not attended any of Beckham’s birthday events in the last week. So it fell on Romeo as second eldest to deliver a speech at Core restaurant on Saturday.

When he arrived at the venue, he could see the first of several cue cards in his hand. Romeo addressed the crowd, “Good evening everyone. I want to start by thanking everyone who is here tonight. He wouldn’t be half as successful as he is now, I know without the support of many of you in tonight. However, to the current “man.” Then, according to what he knows, he reportedly praised his father, who he described on social media as “the most amazing role model.”
Romeo also delivered another recent speech last month during the Miami pre-birthday celebrations in front of his parents, according to photos he posted from April 10. Romeo’s brother was unlikely to attend, and he may have planned a speech for this weekend, it seems.
His older brother, in contrast, was invited but never attended any of the birthday celebrations.

Despite jetting to London from their LA home last week, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz did not attend the weekend celebrations, much to David and Victoria’s disappointment.
Brooklyn hasn’t posted any messages about his dad’s milestone on his own social media, despite claims that it is “all about Nicola.”
The couple did not attend the Beckhams’ £10 million Cotswolds mansion party on Wednesday evening or family celebrations in France.
However, David had family and friends to spend the weekend with up until 3am.
Other guests included actor Tom Cruise, ex-footballer Gary Neville, and TV chef Gordon Ramsay.

Neville, who turned 50 a few months ago, expressed his condolences on social media. He declared, “Happy 50th mate. The best is you! For the first time in your life, hold on tight and reflect on everything you’ve accomplished and accomplished in these first 50 years.
We’ve won, lost, laughed, and cried together, but our relationship has been the most incredible. Our parents and kids are still present in the crowd. You have done everything with care, effort, and humility. I have a lot of confidence in you, and more importantly, I have faith in you. I wish you the best of luck.
Romeo is the second eldest son of footballer David and so he gave speech from the kids on Saturday night

But to the man of the moment…” He is then understood to have praised his dad at length, who earlier this week he described as “the most amazing role model” on his social media.
Photos he posted from April 10 show Romeo also gave another recent speech in front of his parents for the Miami pre-birthday celebrations last month. It suggests Romeo knew his brother was unlikely to attend and had a speech planned for this weekend.
By contrast his older brother has not been at any of the birthday celebrations, despite being invited.

Some claims have insisted it is “all about Nicola” but Brooklyn has also yet to post any message on his own social media about his dad’s milestone.
The couple did not attend family celebrations in France on Friday, or the big party at the Beckhams’ £10million Cotswolds mansion on Wednesday evening.
However, David was not short of friends and family to party with at the weekend until 3am.
Other guests included actor Tom Cruise, ex-footballer Gary Neville, and TV chef Gordon Ramsay.

Neville, who turned 50 several months ago, paid a heartfelt tribute to his pal on social media. He wrote: “Happy 50th mate. You’re the best! Stand still today for once and reflect on everything you have achieved and done in these first 50 years of your life.
“We’ve won, lost, laughed and cried but had the most incredible times together. I can still see our mums and dads in the crowd. Everything you’ve done has come through humility, care and hard work. I’m proud of you and more importantly trust you with my life. All my love to you.”
