Bresnan added for final Test
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 23 - 08 - 2010

Tim Bresnan has been called into England's squad for the decisive fourth Test against Pakistan at Lord's.
Yorkshire pace bowler Bresnan is the only addition to the group which lost to Pakistan by four wickets in the third Test at the Oval Saturday.
Andrew Strauss's team leads the series 2-1 going into the final Test, which starts Thursday, and must avoid defeat in north London to clinch a series victory.
England national selector Geoff Miller said: “There were some real positives from the last Test, such as Alastair Cook's outstanding century and the way the team fought hard on the final day defending a small total.
“We know Pakistan are a dangerous side, which they showed in the last Test, so we will be looking for a strong performance across the board in this final Test match of the summer.”
England captain Andrew Strauss has restated his belief in England's fragile top order as his side heads to the fourth and final Test.
England collapsed in both its innings at The Oval as Pakistan clawed its way back into the series.
England's top order has misfired throughout the season with Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Alastair Cook and Strauss himself all averaging under 30 in three Tests against the Pakistanis.
But Strauss insists he has no worries about his run-getters as England get set to play its last Test match before it begins the defense of the Ashes against Australia in Brisbane in November.
“You have to get runs on the board but I don't feel like I have any real concerns over any particular member of our batting unit because I think we're all quality players,” Strauss told reporters at The Oval after England's defeat.
“Test cricket is about managing your game and we have got to be clear about how to manage ours.
“We lost the match because of two poor sessions with the bat. We don't want to see these types of collapses.”
