LEEDS, England (Reuters) - Luke Ronchi is in line to make his test debut against England at Headingley on Friday with regular wicketkeeper BJ Watling causing concerns that his knee injury will not stand up to playing in the match.

Watling was struck on the knee by a delivery from fast bowler Matt Henry and absent from the field for much of the first test at Lord's with top-order batsman Tom Latham taking the gloves.
