The 34-year-old was clearly hampered by a back problem during the second innings of the first Test at Lord's when England were denied victory by rain and bad light on the final day.

And the left hander was unable to take part in the Indian net practice on Wednesday with an Indian spokesman confirming: "Sourav has a slight lower back strain."

If he is ruled out then Yuvraj Singh is set to replace the former Lancashire and Northants player as India look for a vastly improved batting performance after surviving with only wicket in hand against England's rookie attack.

But Singh is confident his country will make the most of their fortunate escape in the first Test.

He said: "The mood has been good. Obviously we are disappointed that we didn't get many runs on the board at Lord's but a draw is a draw.

"The bowling has been good generally but in terms of the batting we need to put together some big partnerships and we are looking forward to doing so. In fairness the Lord's wicket was strange. On the first day it was quite a good pitch to bat on but after the rain it suddenly changed.

"We have played over here before in England and know things like that can happen. We are well prepared. All our batters are geared up and we know that we need to get a big score on the board."
