England have announced an unchanged squad for the third and final Test of the three-match series against Sri Lanka starting at Lord's on Thursday.

While confirming the news, England skipper Alastair Cook said that the hosts would go with the same playing XI that enjoyed the victory in Durham, Sport24 reported.

Cook observed that the side displayed some really good performances in the last match, adding that the consistency in selection would likely to work in the team's benefit.

England have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series following their nine-wicket win over Lanka in the second Test at the Riverside Stadium in Durham.

The England team for the third Test is as follows:

Alastair Cook (captain), Alex Hales, Nick Compton, Joe Root, James Vince, Jonny Bairstow (wkt), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad, Steven Finn, James Anderson.
