England will bring in Jack Leach in place of Ollie Robinson who has been suspended after racist comments he made on social media a few years ago resurfaced during the 1st test. Mark Wood could be rested and Ollie Stone could be given a go in his place and Broad/Anderson could be rested as well. The batting order is expected to stay the same.
