Plunkett, Footitt in England squad for fourth Test

Liam Plunkett and the uncapped Mark Footitt have been called up to the England squad for the fourth Ashes Test at Trent Bridge.

Adam Lyth has retained his place in the 14-man party as the rest of the team remains unchanged following their win at Edgbaston.

As expected, James Anderson misses out through injury after hurting his side in the third Test.

Footitt, 29, earns his place in the squad after impressing for Derbyshire. Plunkett's last Test appearance for England came against India last summer.

England squad for the fourth Ashes Test: Cook, Ali, Bairstow, Bell, Broad, Buttler, Finn, Footitt, Lyth, Plunkett, Rashid, Root, Stokes, Wood
