England retain winning squad

London - England named an unchanged 12-man squad for the second Test against India starting at Trent Bridge on Friday just hours after winning the series opener by 196 runs.

Yorkshire seamer Tim Bresnan was again added to the XI that triumphed at Lord's on Monday to go 1-0 up in this four-Test campaign.

England national selector Geoff Miller said: "There was a lot to be pleased about from the opening Test at Lord's.

"We saw some excellent performances with both bat and ball which resulted in an outstanding win on the final day of what was a memorable match," the former England off-spinner added.

"While the squad from the first npower Test all came through unscathed we have included Tim Bresnan in the squad for this next Test and he'll once again be pushing for selection following a short turnaround in between Test matches."
