England opener Ian Bell is a doubt for tomorrow's first one-day international against West Indies after being hit on the chin in practice.

Bell took a blow taking throw-downs in the indoor net and went to hospital to establish the extent of the injury, but will definitely need stitches.

Warwickshire batsman Bell will be desperate to play as England explore options at the top of the order following the retirement from limited-overs cricket of Kevin Pietersen.
