Chris Woakes Added to England Squad Ahead of Third Test

Warwickshire fast bowler Chris Woakes has been called up to the England squad ahead of the third one-day international against Australia on Wednesday at Edgbaston. 

 

England have a chance to move to the top of the ICC One-Day rankings if they can whitewash Australia and have made the perfect start with two wins in the first two matches. 

 

Woakes has been added to the squad as both Jade Dernbach and Stuart Meaker will be attending the funeral of Tom Maynard. 

 

Meaker was called up after the first game against Australia after James Anderson picked up an injury, but the England management are hopeful that he will be fit to return to action at Edgbaston. 

 

England have so far looked a cut above Australia as demonstrated yesterday when they sealed victory with more than four overs remaining to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
