2015 The Ashes - Jonathan Bairstow Replaces Gary Ballance in England Squad for the 3rd Test @ Edgbaston Test July 29 - Aug 02,2015

Yorkshire batsman Jonny Bairstow has replaced Gary Ballance in the England squad for the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston, starting on  July 29,2015

Yorkshire's Gary Ballance(25)loses his place after making 134 runs in eight Test innings this summer. 

The inclusion of Jonny Bairstow(25) is the only change to the England squad that lost the 2nd Test @ Lord's by 405 Runs and enable Australia to level the series 1-1
At Lord's, England were 29 for three in their first innings and 42 for three in a humiliating second-innings collapse to 103 all out
That meant they had now lost their first three wickets for 52 or fewer runs eight times in seven Tests.
