“I think Adil has a chance,” Cook said.… Alastair Cook has drawn a line under the selection controversy around Lord’s and said that England will leave a decision on whether to play two spinners in the second Test against Pakistan at Old Trafford until the morning of the game tomorrow. With Steven Finn and Jake Ball released from the squad after practice this morning, the captain said that Adil Rashid remains in contention to play alongside Moeen Ali on what would be his first Test appearance on home soil. Cook confirmed that Ben Stokes and James Anderson will both return.
