Cice-captain Ollie Pope has kept his place, meaning rising star Jacob Bethell must wait for his chance.
There are two changes to the team that beat Zimbabwe by an innings in three days at Trent Bridge, the experienced Chris Woakes returning in place of the injured Gus Atkinson to lead the attack and Brydon Carse winning his first home cap at Sam Cook’s expense.
India vice-captain Rishabh Pant said it felt “so good” to know India would not be facing the new-ball threat of either James Anderson or Stuart Broad for the first time since 2007, but Carse is eager to show he can assume the mantle of strike bowler.
Talking of 2007, that is the last time India won a Test series on English soil, though did come close in their last visit, in 2021, but a 10-month Covid pandemic delay scuppered their chances.
TV channel: The entire series will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event and Cricket. Coverage across both channels begins at 10am BST on Friday, June 20. Play is scheduled to begin at 11am.
