Ben Foakes is out with a torn hamstring.

 

[Aislabie]

Devastated for him

Billings and Hameed called up as cover, but Bracey expected to play as keeper which is no surprise given his JB initials

We might not know when Billings gets thrown into the fire and he is played as a specialist keeper.

Sam Billings should clearly change his name to James

Good to see Hameed back. It's been a rough time for him after that 2016 India tour, where he averaged 9.70 in a full season of county cricket. Could be a solid backup to Burns or Sibley depending on either lose form.

New Zealand batting

More importantly, de Grandhomme plays

Not sure how I feel about Leach missing out on what looks like a pretty dry surface

More importantly, he has the highest score by an England opener at Lord's in the last four years.

I think Rory Burns is the first England men's player with a ponytail since Derek Pringle

 

[Aislabie]

No spinner looking pretty silly already
