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.

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.
With the third Ashes Test set to begin on Thursday in Leeds, Australia can expect to face a motivated England and a furious crowd at Headingley. The visiting side was on the receiving end of a chorus of boos and abuses after Alex Carey controversially stumped Jonny Bairstow on Day 5 of the second Test at Lord's, which Australia won by 43 runs. Bairstow ducked a bouncer from Cameron Green, but was stumped after leaving his crease without informing the keeper or the leg umpire.

Brook has scored 132 runs in four innings in two Tests at an average of 32.00, with one half-century.
