Jofra Archer will not be a part of England's playing XI in the second Test due to an elbow injury sustained in the first match. The fast bowler was supposed to rest during the on-going series as a part of England's rotation policy.
Archer managed to scalp a couple of wickets in the first innings and remained wicketless in the second. Olly Stone might be Archer's replacement as James Anderson is also not part of the team.
Ben Foakes will replace Jos Buttler in the playing XI.
