England Include Plunkett and Footitt for 4th Test

Birmingham: Bowlers Liam Plunkett and Mark Footitt have been included in England's 14-man squad for the fourth Ashes Test against Australia at Trent Bridge.

Seamer James Anderson will miss the match with a side strain suffered in England's win at Edgbaston, which put them 2-1 up in the five-Test series.

Yorkshire's Plunkett played the last of his 13 Tests in June last year, while Derbyshire's Footitt is uncapped.

As well as Anderson's certain absence, doubt remains over the fitness of Mark Wood after the 25 -year-old Durham seamer missed the third Test with an ankle injury, though England are hopeful he will recover in time.

Under-pressure batsman Adam Lyth, also of Yorkshire, has been retained.

England squad: Alastair Cook (capt), Moeen Ali, Jonathan Bairstow, Ian Bell, Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler (wk), Steven Finn, Mark Footitt, Adam Lyth, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Mark Wood
