England named an unchanged 12-man squad for the third and final Test on Monday shortly after completing a series-clinching win at the Riverside.
Victory by nine wickets in the second Test, a win completed with more than a day to spare, saw England go 2-0 up in the series.
England will head to Lord's, where the third Test starts on June 9, with captain Alastair Cook having become the youngest player -- and first Englishman -- to score 10,000 Test runs after he achieved the feat during the course of his 47 not out on Monday.

Jake Ball, in the squad for the first two Tests, will be pressing for a debut, with fast bowler Steven Finn the most likely candidate to make way if the Nottinghamshire quick plays at Lord's.
