JOS Buttler has been called into the England squad as cover for wicket-keeper Matt Prior for the first Test against India starting in Nottingham tomorrow.
Prior hurt his thigh while training at Trent Bridge yesterday but despite Lancashire's one-day international Buttler being called up, it is thought this is just a precaution.
Speaking at his official press conference before the match, England captain Alastair Cook said: "We're 99 per cent sure that he'll be fine but we'll have a little check in the morning just to make sure.
"But all things at the moment are looking good."
Earlier, the England and Wales Cricket Board said: "Jos Buttler called into the England squad as cover for Matt Prior, who experienced some mild tightness in his right thigh yesterday.
"... will continue to be assessed during training before a decision is made about his fitness for the 1st Investec Test."
