England have made three changes to their XI as they look to keep the Ashes alive in the third Test at Headingley this week.
Harry Brook has been promoted to number three in place of Ollie Pope, who is out for the remainder of the summer with a dislocated shoulder. Moeen Ali, Mark Wood and Chris Woakes have all been recalled to the bowling attack, with James Anderson and Josh Tongue rested.
With the series at 2-0 down with three to play, England have opted to overhaul their side. The addition of Moeen and Woakes strengthens the lower order, while Wood's introduction gives skipper Ben Stokes the express pace option that England have been lacking.
Wood is capable of hitting up to 96mph - the kind of speed that Australia have not yet faced on this tour. Woakes makes his first appearance of the 'Bazball' era, while Moeen is back in action after a blistered finger ruled him out of the second Test at Lord's.
Stuart Broad and Ollie Robinson lead the wicket charts with 11 and 10 respectively, but England have been outmatched for air speed so far.
