For the third Test, sponsored by LV= Insurance and beginning on Thursday, September 8 at the Kia Oval, the men of England have picked an unchanged team.
Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum have continued to have faith in their team after the team easily won the second Test on day three, winning by an innings and 85 runs.
“To come back from last week’s disappointment at Lord’s to put in the performance we have this week, it obviously gives us a lot of confidence back and sets the series up nicely for the last game at the Oval,” said Stokes.
“We completely forgot about that performance [at Lord’s]. The way we batted, bowled and fielded in this game was the benchmark of the standards we set.”
