England captain Joe Root has confirmed Jos Buttler will take over the reins as wicket-keeper for the side’s fifth and final Test match versus India.

Buttler missed England’s thrilling 157-run defeat at the Kia Oval to be present with his wife, Louise, for the birth of their child and Jonny Bairstow wore the gloves in his place.
