Three Lions looking to wrap-up the series after stunning victory at Chester-le-Street.
The England Cricket Board have added two new names to the Three Lions’ side to play Australia in the fifth and final Test match of the summer.
The home side have added Ashes rookies Simon Kerrigan and Chris Woakes to the side, which could see the selectors go with a slightly different team at The Oval.
However, Kevin Pietersen has been named in the squad despite battling injury since the end of the clash at Durham, with injured pace duo Tim Bresnan and Graham Onions omitted from the side.
England retained the Ashes yet again with their stunning bowling performance on the fourth at at Chester-let-Street, as Australia crumbled to a humbling defeat.
The fifth Test gets under way next Wednesday at The Oval on London.
