England head into the fourth ODI with Australia, in Durham, without their premier spin king, Graeme Swann, who is resting a sore elbow....

His place in the England one day squad, has gone to Kent's James Tredwell, who will making just his sixth one day appearance, should he make the final 11.

England lead the five match series, 2-0, with the third game washed out through rain at Edgbaston.

Australia meanwhile will re-call Ben Hilfenhaus for the hapless Mitchell Johnson, as they continue to turn all ways to find a winning formula in the series.

Hilfenhaus said of his call up to the Durham match "It does swing a bit here, especially when you have two new white balls."

"My skill is swinging the ball up front, that is something I have always done. "When it stops swinging I try to keep it tight for as long as I can."

On the Swann situation, chief selector Geoff Miller said "Graeme has some pain in his elbow at the moment and we feel that an extra week's rest will allow it to settle."

Samit Patel plays instead of Tredwell, was there really any point in calling him up?
