Tait fit for final Test


Australia paceman Shaun Tait is undergoing treatment for a shoulder problem but has been cleared for next week's final Ashes Test against England.

The 22-year-old, who made his five-day bow in the fourth Test loss to England at Trent Bridge, has been cleared of serious injury after undergoing scans at a London clinic.

Team physio Errol Alcott reported Tait was suffering mild shoulder soreness.

The player is expected to feature in the two-day tour match against Essex at Chelmsford this weekend and to hang on to his place for the crucial fifth Test at The Oval.
