James Anderson returns on his Old Trafford home ground to lead an ageing England attack in a must-win fourth Ashes Test.
England have dropped Ollie Robinson, who suffered a back spasm as the hosts won the third Test by three wickets at Headingley.Anderson's 688 wickets are the most by any paceman in Test history. Only spinners Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne are ahead of the Lancashire swing bowler.
"Myself...you never know what you're going to get, but with those guys, you definitely know how good they are." Moeen only managed five at first-wicket down in the second innings at Headingley but England are keeping him there after resisting calls for either captain Stokes, or wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow, who has struggled with both bat and gloves this series, to move up the order.It is nearly seven years since Moeen - who has batted in every position from one to nine in his 66-Test career - scored the last of his five centuries at this level.
Veteran opener David Warner twice fell cheaply at Headingley to Broad, who has dismissed the Australian opener 17 times in Test cricket. Australia must decide if both all-rounders can play in the team. Josh Hazlewood is set to return after fellow paceman Scott Boland went wicketless at Headingley.But that defeat was against Australia four years ago. Not since Ian Botham hit a celebrated hundred in 1981 have they enjoyed an Ashes win at the Manchester ground.
