England batsman Ravi Bopara has been recalled for the third Test against India replacing Jonathan Trott who is nursing a shoulder injury.



Bopara, with a Test average of 33.46, has been picked ahead of uncapped James Taylor. Bopara played the last of his ten Tests for England in August 2009 against Sri Lanka A in Scarborough.

The Middlesex fast bowler Steven Finn who was called up on the eve of the previous Test match as cover for Chris Tremlett is also included in the squad. The rest of the squad remains unchanged.
