England talisman Ben Stokes was included in an unchanged 13-man squ but will be assessed to find out wher he is fit to bowl at Oval. England vice-captain did t bowl in Australia's second innings at Old Trafford following a right shoulder injury sustained in tourists' first innings. If Stokes is unfit to bowl in London, he is expected to play as a specialist batsman, meaning eir Sam Curran or Chris Woakes would come into side and one of struggling batsmen would make way, perhaps Jason Roy. Stokes is England's top-scorer in series, with 354 runs and two centuries but, with exception of Rory Burns, rest of batsmen have struggled to build totals for bowlers to defend. In continuing absence of injured James Anderson, Root will be relying on his new-ball pairing of Stuart Bro and Archer to do dam. But he will kw that for every minute Smith is at crease, any hopes of denying Australia a first series win in England for years will recede.
