England have made three changes ahead of the 3rd Ashes Test against Australia at Headingley.

In the absence of the injured Ollie Pope, big-hitting Harry Brook has been promoted to No 3 in what is a must-win Test for the hosts.

 

Jimmy Anderson and Josh Tongue have made way for the returning Mark Wood, Chris Woakes while off-spinner Moeen Ali returns after recuperating from a finger injury.

England XI: Zac Crawley, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Ben Stokes (c), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad, Ollie Robinson, Mark Wood
