England Under-19s have called Hampshire's Joe Weatherley into their squad for the fifth and last Royal London One-Day International against Australia at Worcester on Saturday after Haseeb Hameed received a county call from Lancashire for their match against Glamorgan.
England need to win the last game to square the series after slumping to 99 all out, and a seven-wicket defeat, in Leicester today.
Hameed was recalled to the team after missing out on Monday's televised day-night victory in Derby but was one of six victims for Liam Hatcher, caught behind down the legside, after Australia had chosen to bowl first in helpful conditions.
The 18-year-old from Bolton has been selected by Lancashire's coach Ashley Giles in a 13-man squad for the LV= County Championship match against Glamorgan which starts at Emirates Old Trafford on Friday.
Weatherley captained the Under-19s on their trip to Australia earlier this year, and has earned a recall through his form with Hampshire's second team in recent weeks.
Haseeb is the latest in a number of players who have been called up to play county cricket, and we thought we needed batting cover for the last game of the series at Worcester, explained England's coach Andy Hurry.
Joe has earned that chance with the weight of runs he has been scoring in second team cricket with Hampshire.
Weatherley will become the third Hampshire player in this squad, joining the spinners Brad Taylor and Mason Crane, while a fourth, Tom Alsop, opened the batting in the four-day match against Australia in Durham.
The last game is a cup final for us now, said Hurry after a second disappointing batting performance in three matches by England. The lads bounced back well after we'd played badly in the first game of the series, so the challenge for them now is to do that again.
Jhye Richardson did the early damage, trapping Adam Hickey lbw and then bowling Monday's centurion Dan Lawrence with a beauty.
Hatcher then had Hameed caught down the legside, one of three catches for Jake Doran, Australia's captain who took over from Tom Healy as wicketkeeper for the first time on the tour.
England's captain Aneurin Donald stroked one boundary then inside-edged on to his stumps, and Durham's Jack Burnham was also bowled by Hatcher after striking three consecutive boundaries in the previous over.
Burnham's 21 was to be England's top score as wickets continued to tumble to Hatcher, who had Mason Crane lbw for a first-ball duck while Taylor and George Garton, the Sussex left-arm seamer making his first appearance of the series, were both caught behind by Doran.
Ryan Davies flicked the offspinner Sam Grimwade to mid wicket, and the fast bowlers Hugh Bernard and Jared Warner then shared the highest stand of the innings for the last wicket until Bernard drove Richardson to mid-off.
England raised a few Australia nerves when Hameed ran out Caleb Jewell with a direct hit from square leg off the first ball of the innings, and they were nine for two when Bernard continued his impressive series by trapping Will Pucovski lbw.
But Doran joined Matt Renshaw to score a quick 25 in a third-wicket stand of 41, and although the captain pulled Warner to Hameed at mid wicket, Australia cruised to victory with almost 30 overs to spare.
Renshaw, the left-hander who was born in Middlesbrough and spent his early years in Sheffield before his family moved to New Zealand and then Queensland, ended unbeaten on 39 meaning he has still to be dismissed in the series after he made 69 not out in Australia's previous victory.
