ENGLAND captain Ben Stokes insists it was an “easy decision” to stick with an unchanged side as they look to seal a series whitewash in the third Test against West Indies at Edgbaston.

An unchanged XI means Nottinghamshire seamer Dillon Pennington’s wait for a Test debut goes on, while Matthew Potts also sits out.

Pennington has taken 31 wickets for Nottinghamshire in County Championship Division One this season — a total bettered by only three players.
