England have added James
Anderson, Ben Stokes and Adil Rashid to their squad for the second Test
against Pakistan at Old Trafford, which begins on Friday.
Middlesex bowler Toby Roland-Jones drops out, but both Steven Finn and Jake Ball retain their places.Both Anderson and Stokes missed the 75-run defeat in the first Test as they continued their recovery from injury by playing for their counties.
Anderson could replace Ball, who picked up a niggle during his Lord's debut.
Stokes
will be hoping to return to England's top six, while Yorkshire
leg-spinner Rashid adds options at a ground renowned for being one of
the country's most receptive to slow bowlers.
Anderson took 3-58
as he bowled 22 overs for Lancashire over the weekend while Stokes
proved his fitness by sending down more than 36 overs in the match,
including taking three wickets in the home side's second innings at
Southport.
Full squad: Cook, Hales, Root, Vince, Ballance, Stokes, Bairstow, Moeen, Rashid, Woakes, Broad, Anderson, Finn, Ball.
