England name a changed playing XI for the second Test against New Zealand at The Oval starting Wednesday, with Jordan Cox and Sonny Baker set to make their Test debuts. The alterations follow England’s 115-run win in the first Test at Lord’s. Jofra Archer returns to the side after being left out of the first Test, while Ben Stokes is not included. Multiple reports also say the team makes further adjustments because Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson are stood down for breaching team protocols during celebrations after the first Test victory. The remaining changes affect the composition of the XI beyond Cox and Baker, as England reshuffle their batting and bowling options for the match at The Oval. Overall, the selection reflects both disciplinary action from the post-match period and England’s decision to give new players a chance in the second Test.
