The 32-year-old fast bowler has not featured so far in the series after picking up a side strain but produced a fine display of seam bowling against England Lions over the weekend to remove Joe Sayers, Stephen Moore and Liam Plunkett to end with figures of three for 37.

And Australia head coach Tim Nielsen said: "All the things he brings to the table are really positive. He's very much putting his hand up for selection."

He added: "He bowled with good pace, swung the new ball away then had some success reversing it in Canterbury.

"That eases one of the concerns that the first time he went flat out in a game environment, his body might react poorly."

Lee's performances were instrumental in taking England apart during their 5-0 Ashes whitewash in 2006-07, while he also played every game of Australia's series defeat in 2005.

Nielsen believes conditions at the Brit Oval, where the decisive Test will begin on Thursday, could help the seamer push for a recall.

"Historically, it's a drier surface that does bounce and carry a bit and those sort of conditions can help the ball get scuffed up, which everyone knows it can reverse (swing)," the Australia coach added.

"I think if it does reverse, he'll very much put his hand up. When that's happening, Brett is as good an exponent of that as anyone in the world.

"As long as he's fit and gets through the next three days and the conditions suit, he'll very much come into contention to play."
