India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj England (Playing XI): Rory Burns, Dominic Sibley, Haseeb Hameed, Joe Root(c), Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler(w), Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Ollie Robinson, Mark Wood, James Anderson IND vs ENG live Kohli: Ishant replaces Shardul, that’s the only change.

Groundstaff are working to take the covers off. News is that toss will be at 3.20pm IST, with the start scheduled for 3.45pm. Michael Holding @ pitch report: It looks a pretty good pitch. When you to come to Lord’s the pitch looks dry. And it looks dry today as well. There is an equal amount of covering of grass. This might not create divots. If you have a spinner in your team, he might come into play. If there are four fast bowlers, they can be good enough. I don’t think a specialist spinner is needed on this wicket. Win the toss and bat first. ND vs ENG LIVE 2nd Test: Before it started raining, Anderson was seen warming up with the team and bowling as well. The toss has been delayed by the way.
