England's cricketers, who are due to begin the third Test against India at Edgbaston on Wednesday morning, were locked in their Birmingham city centre hotel as a safety precaution as trouble flared on the streets outside on Tuesday.

The India team, who were attending a function in Birmingham City Hall, were closer to the troubles and also returned hastily to their base in the Marriott hotel at the end of? Broad Street.
England's players were not under any sort of curfew earlier in the evening, and several had gone out to meet friends in restaurants or bars near to their Hyatt Regency hotel, close to the Broad Street area of England's second city.
But, at the first signs of trouble, the team's full-time security advisor, Reg Dickason, got in touch with them and advised them to return to the hotel.
Captain Andrew Strauss and? vice-captain Alastair Cook were at a barbecue at Jonathan Trott's house in the Birmingham suburbs but went back to the hotel on Dickason's advice on hearing of the problems.

Meanwhile, the continued trouble should not affect preparations for next summer's Olympics and even offers the opportunity for sport to heal some of the wounds caused by the current violence, according to the BOA's Director of Communications Darryl Seibel.
'It makes an Olympic Games and a Paralympic Games all the more important. We need a reason to come together,' Seibel told Sky Sports News.
'What better city to do it in than London. It is the only city to be honoured with the Olympic Games on three occasions.'
Seibel also expressed confidence in the ability of the authorities to make sure next summer's Olympics were safe.
He added: 'We know the level of work and we know the level of planning that has gone into it.
'This is a reflection of the world we live in today. This is not a reflection of London, this is a reflection of the world we live in today.'
Asked if he was aware of any damage caused to Olympic venues he said: 'I'm not aware of it, no.'
