England Face James Anderson Call After Naming Unchanged Squad For Ashes Finale

England are set to make a decision over veteran paceman James Anderson's place in the side after naming an unchanged squad for this week's final Ashes Test against Australia at The Oval. Rain at the England great's Old Trafford home ground washed out all of Sunday's play and condemned the fourth Test to a draw. That ensured holders Australia, 2-1 ahead with one to play, retained the Ashes and wrecked any chance of a winner-takes-all decider in London.

"Tough" For Ben Stokes, "Strange" For Pat Cummins: Reactions To Drawn Manchester Test

Australia captain Pat Cummins insists his side's ambition to win a Test series in England remains undimmed after they retained the Ashes in a rain-marred draw at Old Trafford. Persistent rain meant Sunday's final day of the fourth Test was washed out without a ball bowled as England were denied the chance of a series-levelling win in a match they had dominated. The result ensured Australia, as the holders, kept the Ashes at 2-1 up with one match left in the series -- regardless of the result of the fifth Test at The Oval starting on Thursday.

Ashes : On Question Regarding 'Wronged' At Lord's, Jonny Bairstow Has One Answer

England batter Jonny Bairstow, who was in the middle of a big controversy in Ashes when he was controversially stumped at Lord's, on Friday played a whirlwind 99 not out off just 81 balls which helped England to a mammoth 592 all out in their first innings. The 33-year-old Yorkshireman, who hammered Australia's bowlers for 10 fours and four sixes on Friday, was equally dismissive of suggestions he is at his best when he has a point to prove.

"If I Was Rubbish...": Jonny Bairstow Hits Back At Critics After Scoring Unbeaten 99 In Fourth Ashes Test

England wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow on Friday responded back to criticism received this summer for his performances following a return from injury, labelling it as "tiresome", highlighting how his injury could have ended his career and he is grateful to be where he is physically and as a player. Ever since his return to cricket this summer after a long injury gap, Bairstow has received criticism for his wicketkeeping, which many fans have described as sloppy due to numerous missed opportunities at catches and stumpings. Also, he has not also really continued the purple patch that made him the face of skipper Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum's much-hyped 'Bazball' era that started just last year.
