Uncapped Yorkshire opener Adam Lyth is set to make his England debut after being named in the squad for the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's.

He replaces the retired Jonathan Trott as Alastair Cook's opening partner.

The 12-man squad includes 10 of the 11 players who played the last two Tests against West Indies.

Durham paceman Mark Wood, also uncapped, will compete for a place in the bowling attack at Lord's when the series begins on Thursday, 21 May.

"I can't wait to walk out with AC at Lord's next Thursday," Lyth, 27, told BBC Radio 5 live. "It will be the proudest moment of my life.

"I'm sure there will be quite a few nerves on the Wednesday night and on the morning of the game, but hopefully I can control them and get some runs in front of a packed house."

National selector James Whitaker said Lyth "fully deserves his chance", adding that Wood, 25, had "also impressed"
