Paceman Craig Overton has also been left out for the clash at the Oval, with all- rounders Sam Curran and Chris Woakes, who made way for Overton at Old Trafford last week, coming into the side. The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed that Ben Stokes would play as a specialist batsman due to a shoulder injury. Captain Joe Root said Roy had missed out because the side needed re-balancing due to Stokes’s injury. “It’s always tough to leave guys out, but Stokesy obviously picked up a shoulder injury in the last game and won’t be able to bowl the overs we normal- ly expect him to,” he said at the London ground on Wednesday. “With that we’ve had to change the balance of the side, and Jason’s the unfortu- nate one to miss out. “Jason’s had an opportu- nity to come in and play Test cricket, get a feel for it and it’s not quite gone how he would have liked. “But I’m sure he’ll go away and work extremely hard and come back again and that’s what you expect of guys when they get left out.” Root said it would have been a risk to pick Stokes as a frontline bowler due to the all- rounder’s fitness issues but he fully justified his place as a specialist batsman. The 28-year-old is England’s top-scorer in the series with 354 runs and two centuries, including his match-winning ton in the third Test at Headingley.
