- Craig Overton and Saqib Mahmood in contention to face India
- Stuart Broad, Jofra Archer, Olly Stone and Chris Woakes also out
News that Mark Wood has been ruled out of the third Test against India represents the latest setback for England but their captain, Joe Root, is trying to remain upbeat in the knowledge that he continues to live out a boyhood dream.
Root is in the form of his life but returns to his home ground of Headingley this week with his side beginning to crumble around him. England are 1-0 down against Virat Kohli’s tourists after the galling final-day defeat at Lord’s and, as well as a batting lineup otherwise bereft of form, the injuries are starting to mount.
