Along with Gus Atkinson, the pace attack is expected to be led by Josh Tongue, who made a memorable Test debut with a fifer against Ireland at Lord’s. Cook replaces Matthew Potts as the third seamer in the side.
This is the first time Stokes’ side will be without the services of both Stuart Broad and James Anderson at home, following the latter’s retirement last year.
England playing XI: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, Jamie Smith, Gus Atkinson, Sam Cook, Josh Tongue, Shoaib Bashir.
