Thorpe out of fourth Test

London, Aug 11: England batsman Graham Thorpe on Saturday ruled himself out of the fourth Ashes Test against Australia at Headingley starting Thursday.

The Surrey left hander has still to recover from a broken finger sustained while batting against Australia fast bowler Brett Lee in the second Test defeat at Lord's.

Thorpe said Saturday his hand was ``still very sensitive''.

Australia lead the five match series 3-0. England are set to name their squad for Headingley on Sunday.
