LONDON (Reuters) - Wicketkeeper Jos Buttler is set to make his test debut after being named to replace Matt Prior in England's 13-man squad to play India in the third test starting at Southampton on Sunday.

Prior announced following Monday's 95-run second test loss at Lord's that he was withdrawing from the England squad for the final three matches of the series having been hampered by poor form and injury.
