IND vs ENG: England considering major bowling changes despite trailing in series

England are considering making a couple of major changes to their bowling despite trailing 2-1 in the series against India. The English side went with one pace, three spin and Joe Root's part-time bowling attack in the first two Tests while they played both Wood and Anderson for the Rajkot game, which they lost by 434 runs. After looking at the cracks on the pitch of the JSCA International Stadium, Ranchi two days ahead of the game, playing a lone pacer would not be a bad idea. It just looks like it's down the wicket, it's kind of plated on one side and then the other side looks like a pretty good wicket," he added. Stokes has opened up on the possibility of returning to bowling for the final two games despite making a pinky promise to team physio Ben Davies of not bowling in the entire series.
