Brook replaces Pope at No. 3

Oli Pope's shoulder will now undergo surgery. He is out of the entire series. Harry Brook will bat at number 3 in Pope's absence. At the same time, James Anderson did not play in the first two matches of the series. He was able to take only 3 wickets in 4 innings of 2 tests. He got one wicket in Birmingham and 2 successes in the Lord's Test. England has taken a big step regarding Anderson, who is constantly struggling with poor form.

One mistake and the series will go out of hand

Talking about the English team, it has already lagged behind in the series. In such a situation, he does not even have a chance to make any mistake. One mistake and the series will be out of his hands. In such a situation, Ben Stokes is not in the mood for any experiment. Now they just want the result. England lost the first test by 2 wickets and the second test by 43 runs.

England Playing XI: Jack Crawley, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Ollie Robinson, Stuart Broad
