England have made one change to their team for the fourth Ashes test against Australia, with fast bowler James Anderson replacing Ollie Robinson in the side that won at Headingley.
The fourth test begins on Wednesday at Old Trafford - Anderson's home ground - where England must win to level the series. Australia lead the series 2-1 and even a draw would see them retain the urn.
Anderson, England's leading wicket-taker in tests (688), was rested for the third test, after the 40-year-old struggled to make an impact in the series, with just three wickets in the first two matches.
Robinson makes way, after he was injured in the third test, suffering from back spasms that saw him bowl only 11.2 overs in the first innings. He did not bowl in the second innings, as Chris Woakes shared the new ball with Stuart Broad.
Despite Robinson writing in a Wisden column that he was "100 percent fit for Manchester", England have gone with Anderson's experience, while Mark Wood and Chris Woakes retain their places, after they led the hosts to victory at Headingley.
Spinner Moeen Ali is also expected to bat at No.3 again, after he came in one down in the second innings, allowing Harry Brook to come in at No.5 and play a matchwinning knock of 75.
England team: Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, Moeen Ali, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (captain), Jonathan Bairstow, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Stuart Broad, James Anderson
