England have made three changes for the third Ashes test against Australia which begins in Headingley on Thursday with Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood named in the side as the hosts look to overturn a 2-0 deficit in the series.

England on Wednesday announced their playing XI for the all-important third Ashes Test against Australia, starting at Headingley in Leeds on Thursday. The hosts have made three changes to side which was beaten last week at Lord's. As expected, veteran pacer James Anderson has been excluded from the XI, with tearaway fast bowler Mark Wood replacing him. Meanwhile, Chris Woakes also makes his return to the side, while Moeen Ali is also back after missing the second Test due to an injury.
England is considering moving up young batting sensation Harry Brook up the order to number three for the third Ashes Test against Australia at Headingley, reported Sky Sports on Tuesday. England's number three and vice-captain Ollie Pope is ruled out of the Ashes series due to a shoulder dislocation he suffered during the second Test at Lord's, which England lost by 43 runs and trail by 2-0 in five-match series. Brook has scored 132 runs in four innings in two Tests at an average of 32.00, with one half-century.
LONDON: England all-rounder Moeen Ali is in line to return to action having kept his place in the squad announced by the ECB for the third Ashes test starting at Headingley on Thursday.
Nasser Hussain believes England should replace Moeen Ali with either speedster Mark Wood or Chris Woakes, who has had fantastic success at Lord's thus far and is also a useful hitter later down the order. The second Ashes Test between Australia and England begins at Lord's on Wednesday. England ended up on the losing side in the first Test match at Edgbaston and lost narrowly by two wickets. If England are willing to rely on Joe Root's effective part-time spin, speedster Mark Wood and Lord's specialist Chris Woakes appear to be the likely replacements for Moeen.
England spinner Rehan Ahmed has been added to the Ashes squad for the second test against Australia at Lord's next week as cover for Moeen Ali who was nursing a finger injury in the first match, the country's cricket board (ECB) said on Friday.
