ENGLAND have rolled the dice once again for their final Test of the summer, handing rookie seamer Josh Hull his first taste of international cricket.

Chasing a rare clean sweep of six wins in a row, England have thrown the 6ft 7in left-armer in to face Sri Lanka at the Oval tomorrow in place of Matthew Potts.

The 20-year-old comes in with the slenderest of CVs, having taken a grand total of 16 first-class wickets in 10 matches. He has struck just twice in three County Championship appearances this season, with his average of 182.50 catching the eye for all the wrong reasons.
