Warwickshire seamer Chris Woakes has been added to the England squad ahead of the third one-day-international against Australia on Wednesday.



Woakes, who last appeared for England against Ireland in August 2011, joins the squad in the absence of Jade Dernbach and Stuart Meaker.

Both are released on compassionate grounds to attend the funeral of former team-mate Tom Maynard.

Maynard died after being struck by a London Underground train on 18 June.

England are still hoping James Anderson will be fit for the remainder of the five-match series after his groin injury, but have brought in Woakes as a precaution to play at Edgbaston - his county's home ground.

Woakes, 23, has played four times for England in one-day internationals, taking seven wickets at an average of 24.14 runs.

A victory for England would put them in an unassailable position in the series after England took a 2-0 lead with a six wicket win at the Oval.
