England weigh up Test debut for Sonny Baker with one eye on the weather

England have named a 12-man squad for the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's on Thursday, leaving open until the last minute whether Hampshire pace bowler Sonny Baker will make his Test debut. Coach Brendon McCullum has backed Baker to bring 'full noise', though Gus Atkinson could play if conditions are less hot. Spin bowler Bashir has been selected ahead of Rehan Ahmed, and Jacob Bethell is fit again after a finger injury.
