Robinson has been struggling with a number of injuries throughout the series and limped off with a back problem on the opening day of the third test at Headingley. Although Robinson managed to recover and play a huge role in England's three-wicket win, there were still fears about his fitness. However, the 29-year-old has now revealed he is fit and available to face Australia at Old Trafford in six days time. Speaking to Wisden, Robinson said: "It was so frustrating to get that back spasm on day one. I was really looking forward to bowling on that Headingley pitch and it was coming out nicely, but these things happen. "Normally when I've had back spasms before, they've built up and I would feel it coming on. Whereas this was on landing, it was just a sudden, quick stabbing feeling in the back. "I told (Ben) Stokesy, and he said to get off and see the physio. I think we caught it earlier than I have done in the past. I had some acupuncture, a bit of treatment, and I was fine after that. I was available to bowl on the third day if I'd been needed. "The medical team said that's it's likely to have happened because I played back-to-back Test matches, and bowled 15 overs of bumpers at Lord's. So sometimes these things come around, but then they go just as quickly as well. I'm 100 per cent fit for Manchester." The third Ashes test proved to be another rollercoaster ride, but one England fans could finally enjoy to the max as their team came out on top. Ben Stokes' side rattled off their 251 target set with three wickets to spare to put the series back in the balance at 2-1 to Australia. Robinson added: "I think the Old Trafford wicket could be similar to Headingley, maybe a little bit drier. I think you){kind=link}
