Mo not Test standard anymore and Denly never has been. Both have to be dropped. I don't think we can continue with Bairstow and Buttler. Both really are flat track bullies and struggle when there is something in the pitch for the bowlers. Also, neither are specialist W/K in the longer game. Foakes would have stumped Wade yesterday before he had a score. Roy could play but no higher than 4/5. They will give him another chance.
Archer will play. Woakes record at Lords is top notch. I think he averages about 6/7 per wicket there.
It may be time to give Ballance another chance. Has made 5 tons so far this season. Or perhaps Sam Northeast who is going well.
And Dom Sibley at opener, best average for an English opener this season. Pick players on form, especially batsmen.
I suspect though we won't see many changes!!
You follow me on Twitter
As said exact that, the two you mentioned
Are flying in CC cricket and have to be selected purely on form and not emotion (Roy)
So,
Burns,
Sebly,
Northeast,
Root,
Stokes,
Buttler
Foakes
Curran
Woakes / Archer with everyone moving up one
