A third hip operation may force Warwickshire spinner Ashley Giles to retire. The spinner who was a hit for England is already out for the rest of this season and is worried that he might not be able to play again without suffering permanent damage to his hip.

Said Giles to the BBC: "The underlying thing is that you never know how much long term damage you are doing. "I've never thought it was not worth it but I have to start thinking about it.

His team mates have spent most of the day sat around as rain meant that no play was possible on the third day of the County Championship game at Hampshire.
