In a big relief for Indian skipper Virat Kohli, his pace battery as well as key batsmen, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, who were not amongst runs, turned out to be game changers at Lord's.
It is yet to be made clear by the Indian team management whether lead spin bowler Ravichandran Ashwin, who was left out in London, will be back in the playing XI or not.
The play is scheduled to begin at 3:30 pm IST.
