England have named left-arm quick Josh Hull in their starting XI for the third Test against Sri Lanka at the Oval. The 20-year-old pace sensation, who stands at six feet seven inches tall, has only played ten first-class matches in his career. Hull replaces Matthew Potts, who took five wickets in the two Test matches this series. Known for bowling over 90mph, Hull took five wickets across two innings for England Lions against the touring Sri Lankan side in their only warm-up game. England lead 2-0 in the series after wins in Manchester and Lord’s and will have the chance to make it a series whitewash when they take on Sri Lanka on Friday in the final Test. England XI for Oval TestcColor:> Dan Lawrence, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope (c), Joe Root, Hary Brook, Jamie Smith, Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, Olly Stone, Josh Hull, Shoaib Bashir.
