blackburn pulled one back minutes later through an adam armstrong penalty, but it finished 2—1.to the squad for their second test against india. as part of their rotation system, jimmy anderson is rested after his starring role in the first match. jos buttler has returned home and jofra archer is injured. stuart broad and ben foakes come in, as does moeen ali in place of dom bess, who's been dropped. but leaving out anderson was probably the toughest call for the captain. my my heart and the selectors' hearts were leaning towards him playing, but looking at the big picture of the series and how importantjimmy is the english cricket, i think getting him absolutely ready give him the best chance of playing the last two. he'sjumping him the best chance of playing the last two. he's jumping to get an opportunity. we feel like the players are there to come in and perform. meanwhile, the india vice—captain ajinkya rahane says he expects a lot of movement early on on the chennai pitch tomorrow, and he's also brushed aside concerns over his batting form after being bowled out cheaply in
