• Broad back for England

    Published on

    England have recalled veteran bowler Stuart Broad to partner James Anderson in the fourth Test against Australia in Sydney.

    It is the only change to the side that meekly surrendered the Ashes last week.

    The seamer comes in for Ollie Robinson, who has been rested for a clash in which the tourists are playing for pride after three heavy defeats in Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne.

    Robinson is the only England bowler to have played in all three previous Tests and reportedly pulled up sore after their crushing innings-and-14-run defeat in the third Test in Melbourne.

    There was no change to the batting lineup that was skittled for just 68 in their second innings last week, with openers Haseeb Hameed and Zak Crawley both surviving.

    The Sydney Test starts on Wednesday.

    England: Haseeb Hameed, Zak Crawley, Dawid Malan, Joe Root (c), Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Mark Wood, Jack Leach, Stuart Broad, James Anderson.
