England have named an unchanged 12-man squad for the second Test match against South Africa at Trent Bridge on Friday.
The hosts took a 1-0 lead in the series with a 211-run win at Lord’s, spinner Moeen Ali taking 10 wickets.
Middlesex bowler Toby Roland-Jones misses again as seam trio James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Mark Wood bowled just 10 overs between them in the second innings in London.
The teams will play two further Tests at The Oval and Old Trafford.
“It is nice to have options,” said captain Joe Root. “This is a side that can potentially play on any surface. It gives me confidence knowing the options are there.
“If it does seam or swing around, we have options and when it spins we have players who can turn it either side.”
England squad: Joe Root (capt, Yorkshire), Alastair Cook (Essex), Keaton Jennings (Durham), Gary Ballance (Yorkshire), Jonny Bairstow (wkt) (Yorkshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Liam Dawson (Hampshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Mark Wood (Durham), James Anderson (Lancashire), Toby Roland-Jones (Middlesex).
