England recall Jennings and drop Foakes for final Test

England have dropped wicketkeeper Ben Foakes and recalled Keaton Jennings for the final Test against West Indies, which begins on Saturday.

Foakes, who did not keep in the second Test after injuring his hand, was fit to play in St Lucia but has not been named in the 12-man squad.

Opener Jennings was dropped for the second Test in Antigua for Joe Denly.

All-rounder Ben Stokes, who missed Thursday’s training with a bruised heel, has also been included.

Jonny Bairstow, who has batted at three since Foakes made his debut in November, will keep wicket.

Seamers Mark Wood and Sam Curran have been named in the squad, but Chris Woakes was not available for selection because of a knee problem.

West Indies have an unassailable 2-0 lead after their emphatic 10-wicket victory in Antigua.
