[b]Ed Hawkins cannot see much hope for the tourists as they try to get back into the series at Edgbaston with the action beginning on Wednesday.[/b]
[b]England[/b]
It will be same again for the hosts apart from the one well-documented change with [b]Ravi Bopara[/b] replacing the injured Jonathan Trott. Bopara is hardly like-for-like. Trott is obdurate, dependable, old world. Bopara is flashy, risky and thrilling.
He has waited patiently for his chance to come round again. He has not played since being dropped from the 2009 Ashes team. Earlier in the summer he had appeared to go head-to-head with Eoin Morgan for the No 6 slot. "This little window of opportunity for me is to go out and score some runs," he said.
[b]India[/b]
It's been a task to keep up with India's injury...

When England coach [b]Andy Flower[/b] and his selectors sit down to pick the starting XI for the first Test they better have a rubber handy! If a cricket team was made up of 12 players then Flower wouldn't have a problem. He has seven batsmen, a wicket keeper and four bowlers chomping at the bit and raring to go against an Australian side that appears to be wobbling.
No matter how hard Flower tries, he isn't going to be able to shoehorn the seventh batsman into the side which means that one player will miss out. Sadly, none of the seven are dual talented and able to keep wicket which means that [b]Matt Prior[/b] is safe, as are the four bowlers who were rested for the game against Australia A.
Stuart Broad, James Anderson, Steve Finn and Graeme Swann are in the [b]starting 11[/b]...
