England reinforced their bowling attack by recalling veteran fast bowler James Anderson in place of Ollie Robinson for the fourth Ashes Test against Australia that begins on Wednesday at Old Trafford.
Anderson returns to his home ground where England will aim to win and level the series. Australia lead the contest 2-1 and even a draw will see them retain the urn.
Robinson paid the price for his fitness issues in the third Test in Leeds, which England won by three wickets to come back in the series.
There the right-arm seamer suffered from back spasms and bowled only 11.2 overs in the first innings. He did not bowl in the second innings, with Chris Woakes sharing the new ball with Stuart Broad.
