Onions and Finn: Named in England squad again

England have named an unchanged 13-man squad for the second Test against West Indies.

That means Andrew Strauss' side must decide whether to retain Tim Bresnan - who played in the first-Test victory at Lord's but took just one wicket and made a first-innings duck - or draft in Steven Finn or Graham Onions.

Bresnan also took his Test record to 12 wins from 12 matches at Lord's, but England may feel Finn or Onions will offer greater penetration at Trent Bridge after West Indies made the hosts work hard for their wickets at Lord's.

National selector Geoff Miller said: "There were some very impressive performances across all five days of the first Test both from individuals and the team as a whole and we were made to work hard for the first victory of the summer.

"We know the West Indies will again prove challenging opposition and our squad will be looking forward to preparing for another tough match later this week."

England squad: Strauss (capt), Cook, Trott, Pietersen, Bell, Bairstow, Prior (wk), Bresnan, Broad, Swann, Anderson, Finn, Onions.
