England's leading wicket-taker James Anderson will miss the first Test in India next month as he continues his recovery from a shoulder injury.

The seamer, 34, has not played since August because of a stress fracture.

He was not included for the two-Test series in Bangladesh, which starts on Thursday. The opening Test in India begins on 9 November.

England captain Alastair Cook said: "He might be ready to do some training, but won't be ready for the first Test."
