Ben Foakes misses out as England unchanged squad for fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford

England have named an unchanged 14-man squad for the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford. Jonny Bairstow keeps his place as Surrey wicketkeeper Ben Foakes misses out, while Ollie Pope remains injured with a shoulder injury suffered in the second test at Lord’s.

Ad England’s victory by three wickets in the third test earned Ben Stokes’ side a lifeline in the series, as Australia lead 2-1 going into the penultimate Test. CricketBrook stars as England keep Ashes alive with three-wicket win over AustraliaYESTERDAY AT 15:33 One player that could be replaced is Ollie Robinson, who suffered a back spasm during Australia's first innings and did not bowl for the rest of the match.

Seam bowler James Anderson, 40, who was rested for the third Test, could be a possible replacement for the match at his home ground on Wednesday. Mark Wood and Chris Woakes’ match-winning contributions at Headingley helped keep them a spot in the team, meaning Josh Tongue, who impressed in the second test, will have to push for a recall.

Wood was named Player of the Match last time out — his first Test appearance of the summer — and is confident he will be fit for the remainder for the series. Woakes helped England over the line last week with six wickets and scored an unbeaten 32 in England’s second innings.
