London, May 31: Uncapped Jade Dernbach has replaced injured paceman James Anderson in England's squad for the second test against Sri Lanka at Lord's starting Friday.


Anderson has been ruled out with a side strain sustained during England's remarkable innings victory over the tourists in the first test at Cardiff.

Dernbach, who beat off competition from Graham Onions and Ajmal Shahzad, hasn't been capped at international level although he was called up by England as an injury replacement for its World Cup quarterfinal defeat to Sri Lanka in March.

England is otherwise unchanged from the squad that took a 1-0 lead in the three-test series thanks to a stunning bowling display on the final day of the first test Monday, when Sri Lanka was bowled out for 82 within two sessions. AP
