Cook injured, Strauss in
Alastair Cook will miss England's second one-day international against New Zealand at Edgbaston with a shoulder injury.
The Essex opening batsman has been struggling with a right shoulder problem since England's victory in the final Test at Trent Bridge, missing his country's Twenty20 international victory at Old Trafford and Sunday's win at Chester-le-Street.
Middlesex left-hander Andrew Strauss will join the squad for the Edgbaston clash as cover.
Meanwhile, all-rounder Andrew Flintoff made his comeback from a side strain in Lancashire's second-team match against Durham on Tuesday.
Flintoff suffered the injury ahead of England's first Test against New Zealand, ruling him out of the entire series, but he hopes to be fit for the forthcoming Test series against South Africa.
He was expected to bowl during Durham's first innings on Tuesday.
