• Sam Curran makes way in team despite strong displays
Ben Stokes has been recalled to the England team facing India in the third Test at Trent Bridge in place of Sam Curran, captain Joe Root confirmed.
Stokes joined up with his teammates after the jury at Bristol crown court on Tuesday delivered a unanimous verdict of not guilty over his charge for affray. Stokes was cleared of wrongdoing, along with co-defendant Ryan Ali, nearly 11 months on from the fight in the city centre last September.
