Cricket

Stokes’ absence weighs on England ahead of second Test

The second Test of the five-match series between England and India will be played at Lords, starting on Thursday.

Ben Stokes played a crucial part in England’s victory in the first Test, but will be missing out as he is in court this week on a criminal charge.

More changes are likely in both sides as the high temperatures in London could push both teams to play two spinners.

Tennis
