Tim Bresnan returns to the England squad, having trained with the team ahead of the third npower Test match

The England selectors today named a 12-man squad for the fourth npower Test match at Lord's, commencing on Thursday.

Yorkshire pace bowler Tim Bresnan is the only addition to the team that lost to Pakistan by four wickets at the Brit Insurance Oval in the third Test.

England national selector Geoff Miller said: "There were some real positives from the last Test, such as Alastair Cook's outstanding century and the way the team fought hard on the final day defending a small total.

"But ultimately the team is looking for an improved performance to finish the series well.

"We have been saying throughout this entire series that consistency is key and that certainly remains the case.

"We know Pakistan are a dangerous side, which they showed in the last Test, so we will be looking for a strong performance across the board in this final Test match of the summer."
