The Nottinghamshire trio of Jake Ball, Stuart Broad and Alex Hales have once again been selected by England ahead of the Third Investec Test against Sri Lanka, which gets underway at Lord’s on Thursday 9 June.

Hales has contributed scores of 86 and 83 in the series so far with Broad, meanwhile, claiming ten dismissals including a four wicket haul in each Test.

England squad to face Sri Lanka at Lord’s (from): Alastair Cook, Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball, Stuart Broad, Nick Compton, Steven Finn, Alex Hales, Joe Root, James Vince and Chris Woakes.
