LONDON (Reuters) - England have recalled batsman Gary Ballance for the first test against Pakistan at Lord's next week but paceman Jimmy Anderson misses out with a shoulder injury.

Anderson's absence has given uncapped Middlesex seamer Toby Roland-Jones an opening in England's 12-man squad announced on Thursday and he will compete with Nottinghamshire's Jake Ball.
