Olly Stone then
James Anderson, Jofra Archer and Dom Bess will miss the second Test for England against India starting on Saturday in Chennai.
Moeen Ali, Stuart Broad, Ben Foakes, Olly Stone and Chris Woakes come into the 12-man squad.
Anderson is being rested after inspiring England to a 227-run first Test victory, taking five wickets.
It was confirmed on Thursday that Archer will miss out because of an elbow injury, while Bess is dropped. Jos Buttler is rested for the remainder of the series.
What a blinding start for Olly Stone. 3rd ball gets Gill. India 0-1.

This pitch is going to fall apart so quickly. There might not be anything left to play on come the 4th innings.
Wow, Rohit Sharma is flying. Reaches 50 off 47 balls. Could be a long old inningsâŚ
Hard to know what England should do here. Pujara looks all at sea against Leach and Moeen. Rohit, on the other hand, is making all kinds of hay.
And bang, Leach takes Pujara, caught low at slip. He never looked set.
Oh! And Mo has smashed through Kohliâs defence! This changes everything. Gone for a duck. 86-3
Suddenly, from Rohit making mincemeat, weâre looking at whoâs going to stay with him.
Nobody else is up, are they? Bloody weaklings.

India 106-3 at lunch. Rohit Sharma 80* off 78. He has been sensational. Other end, not so much.
Like you on day 5? 
Just watching the wickets now. Wow!
Iâd like to think I could stay up for 5 days.
Kohli stood there refusing to believe whatâs happened to him was magic.

Glad I got up during lunch. My fault
Rohit gone, thank the Lords, big innings that
248-4
Decent of him to give it away, after his stumping.
Assume you mean Rohit?
Yeah, auto correct blowsâŚ
Nice bit of controversy now.
England appeal for a catch off of Pant, doesnât hit his bat but may have hit the glove off of his pad.
England appeal, third umpire doesnât look at the footage after the ball hit the padâŚTV shows that there was an edge off of the glove.
Moot point anyway as Rahane is bowled a couple of balls later.
249-5

Karma trumps the umpires.

Fair enough England may not have explained properly what they were appealing for but the Umpire should have looked at the full footageâŚ
Now theyâve lost a review which may be vital laterâŚ
