England confirm James Anderson to return for must-win fourth Ashes Test

The 40-year-old Lancashire seamer will feature on home turf as he returns to the team in place of Ollie Robinson, the only change to the side that defeated Australia at Headingley in the third Test.

England kept the Ashes alive in Leeds after Yorkshireman Harry Brook steered the hosts to victory with 75 runs before Chris Woakes and Mark Wood's match-winning partnership saw them over the line.

Ben Stokes' side are 2-1 down in the series with another must-win game on the line in Manchester, starting on Wednesday.

Another tweak to the side sees Moeen Ali promoted to bat at number three, with Ollie Pope ruled out for the rest of the series.

Brook had originally occupied the vacant spot, but all-rounder Ali, who was dismissed for five while batting at three in the second innings, was unexpectedly promoted after asking head coach Brendon McCullum if he could bat there.

"When I took the role on I asked for 10 other selfless cricketers," England captain Stokes said post-match at Headingley.

"And that little moment of Mo going to Baz (McCullum) and saying, 'I want the opportunity' is everything that we're about as a team."
