Ben Stokes confronts a bowling exercise evaluation since England named an unchanged 13-man squad for the final Ashes game at The Oval.
Even the all-rounder bowled just 10.5 overs in Australia’s first innings at Old Trafford before needing the area with shoulder soreness and did not bowl for the remainder of the Test.
In case Stokes is not able to bowl, he is expected to play in the Test for a specialist batsman and England will turn into one of the two bowling all-rounders from the group which missed out in Manchester, together using either Sam Curran or Chris Woakes coming from.
One of those top-order batsmen would miss out in that situation with captain head coach Trevor Bayliss along with Joe Root deciding the make-up of this side following any choice made on Stokes.
Since Australia retained the urn and head to their global red-ball match monitoring the five-match series 2-1 england dropped to some defeat at Old Trafford.
The hosts may still draw the string and Root called on his side to flip up for the final Test of the series in London, with Evaluation Championship points still available.
Despite England’s batsmen having fought through the show, the top-order looks set to remain in position.
The 33-year-old made a fighting 53 off 123 balls because the hosts fought to rescue the Test and is one of three batsmen to create more than 1 half-century from the series.
Meanwhile, Jason Roy’s go down to # 4 brought him his greatest score in Test cricket since he fought 31 off 67 balls in the second innings at Old Trafford.
