Nasser Hussain, Ashley Giles and fast bowler Jimmy Anderson have all been declared fit for the second Test against Sri Lanka starting on Wednesday.Hussain, who missed the drawn first match of the three-Test series, has recovered from a virus.Giles, England’s best player in Galle with eight wickets and a match-saving innings, is recovering after a similar throat infection while Anderson is back bowling at full pace after an ankle ligament injury also ruled him out of the opening Test.‘‘Nasser has declared himself fit and he will therefore bat at number four,’’ Vaughan told reporters after a training session in the hill-country capital.‘‘Ashley is not a problem anymore and Jimmy has had a good workout today and is available for selection.’’With Hussain back, England will either have to drop Paul Collingwood, who helped save the first Test with a back-to-the-wall 36, or drop one of their pace bowlers.‘‘We might go in with six batters but will have to work out the right formula for the wicket,’’ Vaughan said.‘‘The pitch looks like it may be slower than last time (in 2001) and may help the spinners more.’’If England retain the same balance they had in Galle, they will then have to decide whether to play two or three spinners. Kandy has a reputation for assisting seamers.Anderson is short of match practice but Matthew Hoggard and Richard Johnson managed only two wickets between them in the first Test.Vaughan felt his side had snatched a psychological advantage by saving the opening Test.‘‘It was very important that we got out of that game,’’ said Vaughan. ‘‘If you lose the first Test of a three-match series you’re really fighting to win the series.”
