Bresnan recalled as England look for series clincher

TIM BRESNAN was today recalled to the England squad for this week's fourth and final Test match with Pakistan at Lord's.

Yorkshire pace bowler Bresnan is the only addition to the squad which lost by four wickets at the Brit Insurance Oval yesterday.

England lead the series 2-1 ahead of the final Test at Lord's.

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."

It means Yorkshire will be without their strike bowler for the crucial County Championship match with Hampshire at Scarborough this week.
