Skipper Alastair Cook is disappointed to lose Kevin Pietersen to injury before the deciding Test against New Zealand.
The news that England batsman Kevin Pietersen will be out for up to eight weeks with a knee injury was not news his captain Alastair Cook wanted to hear.
With the current three match series against New Zealand tied with one Test to go, Cook would have wanted all his key players fit for the decider on Friday.
Now England will have to face the Black Caps without their star man, with 23-year-old Jonny Bairstow set to fill in for the injured Pietersen.
