Birmingham: England bowler James Anderson will miss the rest of the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston and the fourth Test at Trent Bridge because of a side strain.
England's leading wicket taker, 33, was injured on day two at Edgbaston as England took control over Australia.
He took six wickets as the Aussies were all out for 136 in their first innings, before taking another as the tourists were reduced to 168-7 on day two.
The fourth Test starts on 6 August with the fifth Test on 20 August.
An ECB statement said Anderson's availability for the final Test the Oval would be "determined in due course".
After two compelling bowling displays by England, which reduced Australia to a 23-run lead, Anderson's omission from the fourth Test will come as a severe blow to the hosts, who have bounced back from a crushing defeat in the second Test at Lord's.
The Lancashire bowler was injured on his birthday after taking 10 scalps in the Ashes series so far, and will now miss the Trent Bridge Test which has been a happy hunting ground in previous years.
Anderson has taken 53 wickets in Nottingham, with Lord's the only Test venue where he has been more deadly with 75.
The development has echoes of the injury suffered by Australian bowler Glenn McGrath, who hurt his ankle in warm-up of the Edgbaston Test during the 2005 series in England.
The series is currently tied 1-1.
