The fact he hasn't come out to bat when Rhodes was out suggests he won't be taking any further part in this game.

I think I know the answer to this, but say he doesn't play any more of the match upon ECB orders, can we bring a batsman in to replace him?

We've signed Hanuma Vihari BBC article to cover for Malan while the Visa issue is sorted out - I wonder what's causing the delay.

I have to say I don't know much about Vihari and don't recall him being in England when India toured, which the article tells me he was, but any option to boost the batting lineup is a positive, as I think batting will be much more of a problem in CC than bowling.
