England Name Unchanged Squad for the Third Test

London: England on Monday named an unchanged squad for the third Ashes Test after the second rubber ended in a thrilling draw. James Anderson could not make it to the mix but the England management will monitor the ace pacer on an ongoing basis, they said. Anderson, who is England’s leading Test wicket-taker, picked up a calf injury after bowling just four overs on the opening day of the first Test.

The 37-year old pacer will play for Lancashire second XI in a three-day match beginning on Tuesday, a BBC report said.

Meanwhile, batsmen Jason Roy and Joe Denly kept their places despite not being among runs in both Tests. Denly though took a superb catch on Day 5 of the second Test on Sunday to dismiss Australia captain Tim Paine. IANS
