COOK REMAINS AS BUTTLER CALLED IN

Alastair Cook will remain as England captain with Jos Buttler in line for his Test debut after being picked in a 13-man squad for the third match of the Investec series against India in Southampton.

England included wicketkeeper Buttler, in place of the injured Matt Prior, when they named their squad on Tuesday afternoon.

The announcement also confirmed England's intention to stick with captain Cook, who has been badly out of form and has led his team to seven defeats in their last nine Tests.
