Neil Stevens won the Alphington and Cowick seat with 1,126 votes - 72 votes ahead of the Labour candidate Yvonne Atkinson, with the Liberal Democrats a close third on 1,030 votes.

Elsewhere, the England XI is as expected, with pace bowlers Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse returning in place of Sam Cook and Gus Atkinson as the two changes from the Zimbabwe Test.

Cook and Jamie Overton are the seamers in the squad to miss out, while Atkinson is sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Atkinson is expected to return later in the series and was at England's training session at Headingley on Wednesday.

Even then, Woakes would often give choice of ends to pacey rookie Gus Atkinson, or allow Anderson to get involved in choosing the ball when he moved into the role of bowling consultant.
