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.
Australia are in pole position to secure victory in the second Ashes Test after their bowling attack ripped through England's top order at Lord's on Saturday.
Former England captain Michael Atherton thinks that England's 'bazball' brand of cricket is not about all-out aggression but a calculated one and added that it has felt that England are not in control of what they are doing. "If you go back to last summer, England's approach is one of calculated aggression. Here, it seems to be all-out aggression, no matter what," Atherton told Sky Sports.
England cricket team fast bowler Stuart Broad was left fuming after Ben Stokes did not take a review over the umpire's contentious decision during the second Ashes Test at Lord's on Friday. Marnus Labuschagne was trapped LBW and although the umpire give him not-out, it looked extremely close. Broad was completely convinced that it was out but Stokes decided against it. However, the replays showed that the ball should have crashed into the leg stump and the review would have been successful. Broad was not happy with the incident and when head coach Brendon McCullum signalled from the dressing room that it would have been out, Broad stopped and made his frustration known to the skipper.
