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

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
