(Reuters) - Pace bowlers Matt Fisher and Saqib Mahmood will make their test debuts for England in the second test in Barbados, where England will bat first on Wednesday after winning the toss for the second time in as many tests.

Captain Joe Root made the decision despite the recent memory of a shaky start in Antigua last week, where England lost four early wickets on day one.
