Jack Leach will resume his England career at Trent Bridge after recovering from the concussion symptoms that ruled him out of the first Test at Lord's.
Skipper Ben Stokes called it an 'easy decision' to return to Leach as his first choice spinner once he had proven his fitness and undergone the standard return to play concussion protocols. And Leach was also praised for his commitment in the field that lead to his injury, because he had been following the demands of head coach Brendon McCullum to the letter.
Leach was substituted out of the game in London on the first morning after banging his head while fielding a ball on the boundary. With the Somerset left arm spinner feeling dizzy following the tumble, he was replaced in the side by Matt Parkinson who had been enjoying a barbecue at his home in Manchester.
