James Taylor replaces Ravi Bopara in England Test squad

James Taylor replaces Ravi Bopara in England's squad for the second Test against South Africa.

James Taylor has replaced Ravi Bopara in England's squad for the second Test against South Africa.

If selected, the 22-year-old will be making his debut at Test level, but he did play a one-day international against Ireland last year.

Bopara had made himself unavailable for selection due to personal reasons.

England were comprehensively beaten in the first Test and will need to avoid defeat at Headingley to prevent South Africa winning the series and overtaking England as the number one Test side in the world.

England squad: A.Strauss (c), J.Anderson, I.Bell, T.Bresnan, S.Broad, A.Cook, S.Finn, G.Onions, K.Pietersen, M.Prior, G.Swann, J.Taylor, J.Trott
