Jack Leach missing but James Anderson hopes to make some magic in 2nd Test vs India

Hindustan Times  

This one is for the record books. That’s three more than Rehan Ahmed's age, and two more than Shoaib Bashir who will be making his debut after Jack Leach was ruled out due to a bad hamstring. To add to the incredulity, this will be Anderson’s 184th Test cap, with the rest of England's specialist spinners sharing a total of three Test caps. England's James Anderson delivers a ball during a practice session That bit of lopsidedness apart, this bowling attack makes a lot of sense from England’s perspective. He was spotted bowling left-arm spin at Hyderabad but Leach’s injury meant Anderson had to take up a more active role of patrolling the boundaries.
