India have made one change to side that won by nine wickets in the opening Test, bringing in off-spinner Harbhajan Singh in place of pacer Umesh Yadav who is nursing a sore back.
England, on the other hand, have made two changes. Batsman Ian Bell, who has gone home for the birth his child, has been replaced by Jonny Bairstow, while left-arm spiner Monty Panesar has taken the spot of pacer Tim Bresnan.
