Joe Root will have to make a couple of changes in the playing XI

Wicket-keeper: Jonny Bairstow

England v India: Specsavers 1st Test - Day Three
England v India: Specsavers 1st Test - Day Three

Jonny Bairstow, the English wicket-keeper, will be acquiring the number 6 spot in Lord's Test. Bairstow has been England's first choice wicket-keeper in Tests for a long time now. Thus, minimal of doubts, Bairstow will be retaining his place in the playing XI for the second Test against India at Lord's.

Bairstow had a decent outing in the first Test where he scored 70 and 28 in the 1st and 2nd innings respectively. Hence, with umpteen abilities up his sleeve, Bairstow will prove to be crucial in England's middle-order schemes.
