#3 England squad for the fourth Test announced

The match will begin on 30th August 2018, at the Ageas Rose Bowl in Southampton

The England and Wales Cricket Board has announced the 14-man squad for the fourth match of the Test series against India. The match will begin on 30th August 2018, at the Ageas Rose Bowl in Southampton.

The squad that has been named, is as follows: Joe Root (captain), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow (wicket-keeper), Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler (back-up wk), Alastair Cook, Sam Curran, Keaton Jennings, Ollie Pope, Adil Rashid, Ben Stokes, James Vince, and Chris Woakes.

Hampshire batsman Vince's last game for England was in April 2018 against New Zealand at Christchurch, made it to the squad. The 27-year-old right-hander has been selected by virtue of his excellent form in the County Championship.

He is also the captain of Hampshire side, with whom he has averaged 56 per game in the first division this season.

His most notable performance so far came in the win against Nottinghamshire earlier this week - when he made 74 and 147 in either inning - at the Rose Bowl itself, where the fourth Eng-Ind test will be played.

Jonny Bairstow's finger in his left hand had been fractured courtesy of an Anderson late-swinger in the third innings of the third Test, after which he did not keep wickets.

It is not sure as to whether he will make it into the final eleven, so Vince does stand a chance of actually donning the whites for England again, come August 30.
