A Cricket Australia statement on Monday said Paine would arrive in Britain on Tuesday. He had been scheduled to fly in with the other members of the one-day squad on Saturday.
Manou played in the drawn third Test in Edgbaston after Brad Haddin broke a finger before play started on the opening day. Haddin played in the fourth Test at Headingley where Australia squared the series 1-1.

"Tim will arrive a few days early as a precautionary measure should Graham Manou's hand injury not recover sufficiently to be available as a reserve wicket-keeper," said Australian physio Alex Kountouris. "Brad Haddin is expected to be fully fit for selection in this match."
Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has said his 136th Test is the most important of his career. "I have played in 135 Test matches but never played in a match as big as this one," Ponting wrote in his column.

Denly called up

England, meanwhile, called up uncapped Kent opening batsman Joe Denly in their one-day squad for the seven-match 50-over series against Australia and the Champions Trophy in South Africa. Denly has also been included for two Tinternationals against Australia on August 30 and September 1.

One-day squad: Andrew Strauss (capt), James Anderson, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Paul Collingwood, Joe Denly, Andrew Flintoff, Eoin Morgan, Matt Prior, Adil Rashid, Owais Shah, Ryan Sidebottom, Graeme Swann, Luke Wright
