London, July 26 : Former England fast bowler Steve Harmison is likely to get a dramatic Test recall today as England seeks to recover from the defeat to the South Africans at Headingley.

Harmy, the country's leading wicket-taker with 41, hopes he has done enough to make the squad for next Wednesday's Third Test at Edgbaston.

arren Pattinson - plucked out of obscurity for Headingley by the selectors - is likely to make way.

Meanwhile, Kevin Pietersen echoed captain Michael Vaughan's claim that confused selection undermined team unity last week.

P said: "I was sitting next to a guy I hadn't seen before. I met him at breakfast and an hour later he was next to me in the dressing room while I was getting ready to bat.

The likely squad is as follows: Cook, Strauss, Vaughan, Pietersen, Bell, Collingwood, Flintoff, Ambrose, Broad, Harmison, Anderson, Sidebottom, Panesar.
