Early team news: Jonny Bairstow will play, and has been presented with his 75th Test cap in the England huddle. The toss is in seven minutes!
This sort of stuff makes my head hurt, but today it is what Test cricket dines off.
batting average cheat-sheet. Get it full to Crawley, Root, Buttler, Bairstow & Lawrence; attack Burns, Sibley & Pope with shorter lengths. Swing is as dangerous as seam against these guys. Spin match-ups are likely to still play a role. #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/30YnGPksUp
