England name team for fifth Ashes Test

Mason Crane will make his debut as a replacement for the injured Chris Woakes

England have made one change to the side to face Australia in the fifth Ashes Test starting in Sydney.

Mason Crane will make his Test debut as a replacement for Chris Woakes, who misses out with a side strain.

Leg-spinner Crane, 20, played for the Three Lions in two international T20s over the summer but will make his first Test appearance at the SCG.

Australia lead the series 3-0 heading into the final match of the tour following a draw in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.
