The trio took no part in England`s 75-run defeat by Pakistan in the first of a four-match series at Lord`s on Sunday July 17,2016

But Anderson, England`s all-time leading Test wicket-taker, and Stokes have both been passed fit following their respective shoulder and knee injuries.

Meanwhile Adil Rashid, yet to play a home Test, could feature as a back-up or even an alternative to Moeen Ali after the off-break bowler came in for some harsh treatment by Pakistan`s batsmen at Lord`s.
