England batsman Ollie Pope could miss the first Test against India at Trent Bridge next month as he continues to recover from a thigh injury sustained playing for Surrey in the T20 Blast.
Pope had hoped to be fit in time for the series opener on August 4, but may be advised by medics not to rush his return, and aim instead for the second Test, starting eight days later at Lord's.
