Paul Collingwood will warm up for his England return with a Pro40 match for Durham on Sunday after the ECB freed him for extra match practice ahead of Tuesday's second ODI against South Africa. It will be Collingwood's first ODI since being banned at the end of June for four matches for a slow over-rate when captain against New Zealand and his first since ceding the leadership.
Friday's opening ODI at Headingley was the last of the four matches he was banned for and now he should feature in Durham's Division One match against Worcestershire at New Road. Since his ban he has managed three limited overs matches for Durham, scoring 36, an unbeaten 78 and 8.
Alastair Cook, who was omitted from Friday's team, has also been made available for his county Essex, along with Ravi Bopara. While Bopara played in England's 20-run win he did not bat. Essex's Division Two tie is against Glamorgan at Colchester.
