Upperthong 46 (S.Rashid 4-34, T. Sura 5-11) Linthwaite 50-1. ENGLAND have recalled fit-again seamer Mark Wood for the Champions Trophy, while Steven Finn has missed out on one of five pace bowling slots.
Wood has battled back to fitness after missing the entire winter programme, during which he underwent a third ankle operation, and has done enough for Durham in the opening weeks of the season to persuade the selectors he is ready for the tournament in June.
With games held at Edgbaston, Cardiff and the Oval and England boasting an exciting and settled white-ball side, the eight-team event is seen as a real chance for the hosts to land a first global 50-over trophy.
And Wood is seen as a potentially key performer in that pursuit. The 27-year-old last played for England in September and, although injury problems have restricted him to a modest 11 one-day caps since debuting in 2015, his pace and hostility mark him out as a compelling choice.
There are no real surprises in the 15-man squad, which will also take on South Africa in a three-match series before the Champions Trophy, but Finn might have hoped to oust one of Jake Ball or David Willey from the party.
The Middlesex man played all three matches in England’s last 50-over series, against the West Indies but Willey offers variation as a left-armer and with Ball arguably a more consistent like-for-like option, there is no place for the 6ft 7in paceman. Instead, he has the cold comfort of a place in a slightly modified 14-man squad to face Ireland in two ODIs in early May.
Liam Plunkett has yet to play this season due to a calf injury but he is closing in on a return and has the nod.
England’s season will begin with the games against Ireland at Bristol and Lord’s on May 5 and May 7, with Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes all excused as they continue their Indian Premier League adventure.
