England have kept faith with the same squad of players that gave them a dramatic victory over Australia on Sunday in the second Ashes Test.
Few changes were expected to the squad and the English board of selectors have named the same twelve who clutched victory from the jaws of defeat against the Aussies yesterday.
At a ground which traditionally favours spin during the latter stages of the Test, the selectors could have considered taking an extra spinner to help the workload of left-armer Ashley Giles.
But instead they have named the same 12 on duty at Edgbaston, although Paul Collingwood, called up for 48 hours while England considered their options for the previous Test, has been overlooked.
England squad:
MP Vaughan, ME Trescothick, AJ Strauss, IR Bell, KP Pietersen, A Flintoff, GO Jones, AF Giles, MJ Hoggard, SP Jones, SJ Harmison, CT Tremlett
