The England and Wales Cricket Board also confirmed that Ben Stokes would play as a specialist batsman due to a shoulder injury. London: England have dropped Jason Roy for the fifth Ashes Test against Australia that starts on Thursday, as they look to level the series at 2-2. Paceman Craig Overton has also been left out for the clash at the Oval, with Sam Curran and Chris Woakes, who made way for Overton at Old Trafford, coming into the side. “But I’m sure he’ll go away and work extremely hard and come back again.” England team for fifth Ashes Test at the Oval: Joe Root, Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Joe Denly, Jack Leach, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes
