Indians have lost a couple more players for the next game. Jadeja and kl Rahul both out injured. Expect left arm unorthodox bowler Kuldeep Yadav or Washington Sundar to come in along with sarfaraz khan coming in for Rahul.

Seam is potentially going to be more potent here, although it is expected to turn more, but after the poor showing from siraj in the first test it wouldn't surprise me if they put both Sundar and Kuldeep in, Sundar offers batting stability.

For England Anderson is expected to come in, whilst leach is expecting to be fit. Mark wood is expected to sit out, although England are thinking of playing two seamers.

If Atkinson debuts then personally I think the batting line up is short, with leach Anderson and Atkinson both being specialists tailenders, one will have to bat out of position, unless they pick Robinson who won't offer much difference for pace but wields the bat a bit more. Rehan Ahmed will likely miss out.
