Lee to miss Third Test

Brett Lee was ruled out Tuesday of playing in the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston by Australia vice-captain Michael Clarke.

Fast bowler Lee missed the first two Tests of the series, at Cardiff and Lord's, with a side injury and Clarke, speaking to reporters here, said he did not expect the veteran quick to be fit in time to face England.

"I don't think that Brett is going to be right for Thursday.
