England have resisted the urge to bring in Ben Foakes for the fourth Ashes Test, and will instead stick with the out-of-form Jonny Bairstow behind the stumps.
The hosts on Tuesday confirmed an unchanged 14-man squad for next Wednesday's Old Trafford Test, with Ollie Robinson still some hope to play despite back spasms.
James Anderson is also there after being left out of the Headingley win, and is expected to return to the XI for his hometown Test.
But it is the lack of a second specialist wicketkeeper in England's squad that is of most interest.
While Bairstow made a run-a-ball 78 on the opening day of the Ashes, his average has dropped to 23.5 for the series.
His wicketkeeping has become a far more significant issue, dropping a further three catches in the Headingley Test to take his number of missed chances to six.
Foakes last played for England in New Zealand in February, but has been the unlucky man squeezed out of the team since Bairstow returned from a broken leg.
ENGLAND 14-MAN SQUAD FOR MANCHESTER:
Ben Stokes (capt), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Jonathan Bairstow, Stuart Broad, Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Dan Lawrence, Ollie Robinson, Joe Root, Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.
