BIRMINGHAM (Reuters) - England paceman James Anderson has been ruled out of the remainder of the third Ashes test and will miss the fourth match at Trent Bridge with a side strain, the England and Wales Cricket Board said on Friday.

Anderson, who took six for 47 on Wednesday as Australia were skittled for 136, aborted his run and walked straight off the pitch in the evening session of the second day at Edgbaston on Thursday.
