Broad back for England in only change for Sydney

SYDNEY, Jan 4, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - England on Tuesday recalled veteran bowler
Stuart Broad to partner Jimmy Anderson in the fourth Test against Australia
in Sydney, the only change to the side that meekly surrendered the Ashes last
week.

   The seamer comes in for Ollie Robinson, who has been rested for a clash in
which the tourists are playing for pride after three heavy defeats in
Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne.

   Robinson is the only England bowler to have played in all three previous
Tests and reportedly pulled up sore after their crushing innings-and-14-run
defeat in the third Test in Melbourne.

   There was no change to the batting line-up that was skittled for just 68
in their second innings last week, with openers Haseeb Hameed and Zak Crawley
both surviving.

   The Sydney Test starts on Wednesday.

   England: Haseeb Hameed, Zak Crawley, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes,
Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Mark Wood, Jack Leach, Stuart Broad, James
Anderson
