English cricket fans endured their first wave of Ashes anxiety yesterday with the news that Graeme Swann had misplaced his passport ahead of tomorrow's departure to Australia.

The spinner wrote on Twitter: "Are passports still absolutely required to travel overseas? If so then I fear today may be one of frantic searching."

Fans were no doubt wondering how exactly England would take 20 wickets in Australia without him, before he wrote at 4pm: "My passport turned up in my 'safe' place, down the back of the kitchen bin. Thanks to all at the Home Office for your offer of help."
