England will be delighted to welcome Jonny Bairstow - a good player of spin, to the team. If the pitch aids spinners, England batsmen will once again struggle as they did in Chennai in the last test. Joe Root will have to lead from the front to keep England in the game with the bat. 

The pink ball test means James Anderson will be featuring in the playing XI along with well-rested Jofra Archer. Stuart Broad will also be looking forward to playing the day/night test. Though Olly Stone was impressive in the last test, he is likely to be replaced by spinner Dom Bess.
