LIVE - England v India - 2nd Test - Toss Report
England is set to take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, at Lord's, on July
25, after defeating the Indian tourists by 196 runs.
With the weather conditions posing to be cloudy over the Trent Bridge arena, Indian skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 won the toss and will once again open the day after choosing to field first.
The visitors will be coming out with a few changes on the squad as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 too will be
resting due to a hamstring injury.
The Indians are, therefore, likely to open their bowling attack with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566 and presumably, left-arm spinner, Yuvraj Singh.
The batting line up, on the other hand, will open with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SK-Raina-c2539, Yuvraj Singh and the eventual lower order.
As for the hosts, England are also coming out with a change as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Bresnan-c2711 comes in to replace dangerman Chris Tremlett, who will resting out due to a hamstring injury.
The team is going in the match with two spinners, the veteran http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465,
and Jonathan Trott.
On the batting front, the hosts will be opening the day with top order batting pair comprising of skipper Strauss and left handed batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IR-Bell-c1597, followed by the
middle order and the tail-enders.
Both the teams are expected to come out with their best since the much in-shape English squad are determined to offer a competitive run to the opponent.
India on the other hand will also be looking to offer strong retaliation to the hosts in an attempt to retain their top spot on the world Test rankings.
