England captain Joe Root won the toss and asked India to bat on the first day of the second Test between India and England at Lord’s Cricket Ground on Thursday. India made a change bringing in the experience of Ishant Sharma in place of the injured Shardul Thakur. While England made three changes. Stuart Broad was picked in place of Mark Wood, batsman Haseeb Hameed in place of Jack Crowley and all-rounder Moeen Ali was picked ahead of Dan Lawrence.
