Jones Set For Debut At Lord's

The Welshman is likely to step into the fold after Darren Gough and Andy Caddick were ruled out with injuries.

Depending on the state of the wicket Dominic Cork or Craig White will take the other vacant bowling slot.

Mark Butcher will return to open the batting with Michael Vaughan, while John Crawley is expected to slot into the middle order.

India are nearly at full strength for the match, with only Yuvraj Singh ruled out through injury.

Ajay Ratra is set to takeover behind the stumps, while VVS Laxman, who hardly featured in the one-day series, expected to beef up the batting order.

The Indians have left out Tinu Yohannan, Sanjay Bangar, Shiv Sunder Das and Parthiv Patel.
