Jake Ball to make debut in first Test at Lord's - Ashton - 07-13-2016
Nottinghamshire bowler Jake Ball will make his England debut in the first Test against Pakistan this week.
James Anderson is not ready to return at Lord's after a shoulder injury, though captain Alastair Cook expects him to be fit for the second Test.
Ball, 25, has been picked for Thursday's match ahead of fellow uncapped seamer Toby Roland-Jones.
"It's a very special moment for him," captain Alastair Cook told BBC Sport. "He's been very impressive this year."
Ball was in the squad for all three Tests during England's 2-0 series win over Sri Lanka earlier this month but did not play.
