No Ben Stokes in England squad for the second Test

England v India: Specsavers 1st Test - Day Four
Stokes will be having his hearing on Monday

The England selectors have announced the 13-member squad to take on India in the second Test at the historic Lord's Cricket Ground in London starting August 9.

As expected, all-rounder Ben Stokes has not been included in the side as his hearing for an alleged affray begins on Monday. He has been replaced by Worcestershire all-rounder Chris Woakes, who is coming back into the England side from an injury.

The selectors have also named uncapped 20-year-old batsman from Surrey, Ollie Pope in the squad to take on the world number 1 Test side. He will be replacing Dawid Malan, who was dropped by the selectors after a string of poor performances.

England squad for the second Test: Joe Root (captain), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler, Alastair Cook, Sam Curran, Keaton Jennings, Ollie Pope, Jamie Porter, Adil Rashid, Chris Woakes.
