England have battled with a settled opening partnership in recent years, but Burns has brought some solidity to the top of the order, and was impressive with a fighting 84 in the first Test loss to South Africa in Pretoria. He was injured on Thursday while playing football to warm-up for training at Newlands, and was immediately ruled out of the rest of the tour.
