Jonny Bairstow trains before New Zealand v England World Cup final

The Yorkshireman picked up an injury during the semi-final win over Australia but is in line to play at Lord's on Sunday

England batsman Jonny Bairstow has trained ahead of the World Cup final against New Zealand at Lord's on Sunday.

The 29-year-old slipped while attempting a second run during the semi-final win over Australia at Edgbaston and has undergone sustained treatment to ensure he is ready for the final.

Bairstow played through the pain barrier to make 34 to help England reach their first showcase final since 1992.

And on the eve of the showcase clash with the Kiwis, Bairstow took a full part in the session on Saturday with the rest of the squad.

He did not, however, take part in the traditional game of football which acts as England's warm-up before training, after twice picking up ankle injuries while in Sri Lanka last year.

The Yorkshireman is now expected to feature in an unchanged England side from the eight-wicket success over Australia.

Moeen Ali, James Vince, Tom Curran and Liam Dawson are likely to sit out the game.

New Zealand have no major injury concerns though opener Henry Nicholls is nursing a tight hamstring but he is expected to pull through.
