England have named an unchanged squad for the second Ashes Test Match, which starts at Lord's on Thursday, with national selector Geoff Miller praising the side for the dramatic win at Trent Bridge....

It is widely thought that Steven Finn is under pressure to retain his place in the starting eleven, after waiting until the 29th over of the Australian second innings to get a bowl second time round.

Either Tim Bresnan or Graham Onions are next in line to take his place, should England decide on a change.

Miller told reporters on news that the squad was the same "I would like to congratulate England on showing a great deal of composure to win by 14 runs. I have no doubt that the rest of the series will be equally compelling."

"We have selected the same squad for the Lord's Test as this continues to provide options for Alastair Cook and Andy Flower."Miller concluded.

It means that Stuart Broad looks to have fully recovered from the blow to his troublesome shoulder injury, which forced him to miss the start of the Australian first innings. The Nottinghamshire paceman had before the test, received an injection to ease the problem.

England Squad : Cook (C), Root, Trott, Bairstow, Pietersen, Prior (WKT), Broad, Swann, Anderson, Onions, Finn, Bresnan, Bell
