Mark Wood replaces James Anderson in the England fold for the fourth Ashes Test against Australia at Trent Bridge.

England have won the toss and elected to bat first in the fourth Ashes Test at Trent Bridge.

The Three Lions have made just the one change, with Mark Wood replacing injured leading wicket-taker James Anderson.

Australia, who trail their opponents 2-1 in the five-match series, bring in Shaun Marsh for Mitchell Marsh

Speaking to Sky Sports News ahead of the day's first session, England skipper Alastair Cook said: "It's not really a straightforward decision. There is green grass and overhead conditions, but it's a good wicket as well. It was an interesting call.

"Mark Wood is fully fit and has got a really good record at Trent Bridge for Durham. I think he will take new ball. We can't replace James Anderson's 400 wickets overnight, but we see potential in Mark and he'll be looking forward to it."

Play is scheduled to get underway in Nottingham at 11am.

England: Cook, Lyth, Bell, Root, Bairstow, Stokes, Buttler, Moeen, Broad, Wood, Finn

Australia: Warner, Rogers, Smith, S Marsh, Clarke, Voges, Nevill, Johnson, Starc, Hazlewood, Lyon
