Select your Indian team for the Trent Bridge Test

It was a historic Test when India took on England at Lord's. In the end, it turned out to be a memorable one for the home team, as they registered a convincing 196-runs win to go 1-0 up in the four-Test series.

Given the tough time in the warm-up match by Somerset, and poor outing at Lord's, M S Dhoni's men will be looking to get back to winning ways. Pacers Praveen Kumar and Ishant Sharma did step up with a fine showing after Zaheer Khan was sidelined by injury, but the batsmen were unable to make it count.

With Suresh Raina justifying his inclusion in the 11 for the first Test with a fighting 78 in the second innings, the batting department is unlikely to see any changes. The only question is: who will replace Zaheer, if he is still unfit?

Former players Sourav Ganguly and Wasim Akram feel S Sreesanth should be an automatic choice under the circumstances. Besides, Harbhajan's place in the team is also being questioned.

So, will India risk playing an injured Zaheer? If the Mumbai pacer can't make it, should it be Sreesanth or Munaf Patel?

Who do you think should make up India's eleven be for the second Test? Should they play four fast bowlers or just three? Be the selector, pick your team for the first Test.
