Australia have named a 12-man squad for the second Ashes Test against England, leaving out James Pattinson.

Pattinson played a key part in the Aussies' victory at Edgbaston in the first Test but sits out the clash at Lord's, as the selectors rotate their options.

Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are both included in the group, with the starting XI due to be named at the toss on Wednesday.

Australian media report that Starc will be the man to miss out from the 12, with Hazlewood restored to the side.

Starc was also absent from the team which won by 251 runs in Birmingham earlier this month, despite being the leading wicket-taker at the recent World Cup.

The remainder of the Australian side is set to be unchanged.

Australia squad: Paine, Bancroft, Cummins, Hazlewood, Head, Khawaja, Lyon, Siddle, Smith, Starc, Wade, Warner
