England make surprise selection call for New Zealand decider

  • England seamer Ollie Robinson has been left out of the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge, having also missed the previous match due to a knee injury after he was the player of the match in the first Test.
  • Captain Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson return to the England side after being stood down for the second Test following a breach of team curfew, with their previous absence deemed sufficient punishment.
  • Jofra Archer retains his place in the bowling attack and is expected to take the new ball alongside the returning Atkinson.
  • Spinner Shoaib Bashir is back in the team, having achieved five-wicket hauls in his last two Tests in Nottingham.
  • Jamie Smith also returns to the squad after the birth of his second child and will take on wicket-keeping duties while batting at number six, making it a total of four changes from the team that lost the second Test at the Oval.
