Yadav didn't quite look in rhythm in the first Test
Arguably India's most improved fast bowler in the last few years, Umesh Yadav had an off game at Edgbaston. He picked up one wicket in the first innings, along with conceding 56 runs in 17 overs.

Those figures perhaps prompted Virat Kohli to use him as the second change bowler in the second innings and he returned with better figures, giving away 20 runs in 7 overs along with two wickets.
With Bhuvneshwar Kumar out, you would think that Yadav would get another chance at Lord's and he will need to show he is a better bowler than what those numbers suggest in the second Test.
