WORCESTERSHIRE all-rounder Moeen Ali will make his England Test debut at Lords after being named in the team to face Sri Lanka starting today (Thursday).
Ali was picked in the squad for the first time last Thursday (June 5) for the first Investec Test and joins Sam Robson and Chris Jordan to be handed their first Test cap.
And Ali could be batting later today for Alistair Cook’s men after the tourists won the toss and chose to bowl.
England team: Cook (capt), Robson, Ballance, Bell, Root, Ali, Prior, Jordan, Broad, Plunkett Anderson
