Australia batsman Phil Hughes believes that he will keep his place in the team for the third Ashes Test at Old Trafford.

Phil Hughes has revealed that he is confident of keeping his place in Australia's Test side for the third Ashes Test.

The left-handed batsman has scored just two runs in his last three innings for the tourists, but added 84 in a tour match against Sussex yesterday.

The 24-year-old told Sky Sports News: "When you lose Test matches there are obviously changes. When you lose it is not a good thing and it is about finding the right balance.

"Overall I feel confident and hopefully I'll be in that third Test side when it's selected. It's about opportunity. If you do get one position you do want to nail it down but I haven't nailed it down.

"The last Test match obviously didn't go to plan personally but it's only one game. I felt like the first Test match, the 81 not out I scored was probably one of the better innings I've played in the international arena."

Hughes has a batting average of 32.65 from 26 Tests for Australia.
