Ollie Robinson has been suspended by England while cricket bosses investigate the offensive tweets he posted nine years ago.

The pace bowler has been suspended from international cricket pending an investigation into tweets from 2012 and 2013 which came to light on the first dyt of the first Test - in which Robinson starred with bat and ball.

On Saturday he became only the fourth English player in the history of Test cricket to take four wickets in an innings and score more than 40 on his Test debut.
