LINEUP CHANGE: England made just one change to its 13-man squad for the third test, with the uncapped Jos Buttler in for injured wicketkeeper Matt Prior. Prior announced after the loss to India he was taking an indefinite break from the game to regain his fitness after struggling with Achilles, thigh and hand injuries. This paved the way for Buttler, England's one day keeper, to enter the test team. Buttler, an aggressive batsman when not behind the stumps, says he will not be intimidated by making his debut for a team under intense pressure to end its winless streak.
   
"I'm an England fan, as well, but I'm not coming in expecting to be the one person who can fix English cricket," Buttler said Tuesday. "I'm coming in determined to be authentic, to be myself and to enjoy the occasion helping England."
