That won’t be the case at Lord’s. The Indian skipper has confirmed Bumrah’s return to the XI, and all signs point to Nitish Kumar Reddy making way after a quiet outing in Birmingham.

Meanwhile, England have named their team early once again, sticking with their recent tradition. The big news is the return of Jofra Archer, who replaces Josh Tongue to play his first red-ball game in four years. His inclusion adds extra firepower to a bowling attack that was outclassed last time out.
