Australia has opted to take a risk with a move at the selection not seen in more than a decade. 9WWOS
First-choice allrounder Cameron Green, who was fit after missing the third Test at Headingley with a hamstring issue, will return.
Hazlewood has eight wickets after also playing in the second win at Lord's. But he was rested from Headingley to manage his workload. “He's been out there over the last couple of days putting in a lot of work, but I think this tour he has shown a lot of good signs and hasn't quite kicked on to make that big score. Some of those innings he's played under really tough circumstances has made it easy for Smith to come in and score runs, or the like.
With Manchester in for a wet weekend, England captain Ben Stokes said he was open to gambling during the game seeing as they have to win again to force a series decider at the Oval.“With the weather that's predicted, it might bring more out of us again knowing that we might have to push the game on even more than we normally do,” Stokes said.
