Eng step up pace
England have added pace bowlers Liam Plunkett and Mark Footitt to a 14-man squad announced Saturday for next week's fourth Ashes Test.
Yorkshire quick Plunkett, who played the last of his 13 Tests against India in July 2014 and uncapped Derbyshire left-armer Footitt have both been included after spearhead James Anderson was ruled out with a side injury.
"With James Anderson missing this Test through injury and some concerns over Mark Wood's workload in the build-up to the last Test, we felt that bringing in two extra bowlers was necessary," said national selector James Whitaker.
