Surprised Chris Woakes is playing ahead of Finn and tremlett 

He can bat?

[Twelfth Man]

Is this a possible look to the future with putting these two guys on? People say Woakes is going to become a genuine all rounder, presume Prior to go up to six and then he slots in at 7. Really do hope that both the guys do well though, I love seeing new players come into the side.

on sky they are saying woakes is at 6

[Twelfth Man]

Yeah I did see that, either way works really. Give him the chance and see how he goes, especially if MP's happy at 7.

No Finn, Tremlett or Bairstow. Kerrigan and Woakes play

So it's a two spinner bowling line up with Woakes playing as a batsman and as the third non-spin bowler in the Watson mould!

Yes Woaksey lad!! You bears!!

[petehosk]

Woakes is better at 6 until MP gets some decent form back?

1 wicket down now and Watson in at 3. I bet Jimmy will be disappointed to see his bunny so early? 
I would hope that Watson has been working hard on that little LBW glitch in his game?

My gut tells me Finn in for Bresilad

Heart wants Woakes and Kerrigan in for Bairstow and Bres

Happy chappy!

I think this is a very good all round english team put out today. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Ive been keen to see woakes in a test match for a long time

[jamesisapayne]

I like Woakes. He's a solid all-rounder - gives as much as Bairstow if not more with his batting and is a very useful bowler.

I know who I'd rather have in my team.

woakes on to bowl

[Number4]

And bowling like a true debutant...

Gee Watsons bat sounds nice

[Alvaro]

woakes on to bowl

Is that what you call it?

Extremely poor bowling by Kerrigan

[uknsaunders]

well we can take Woakes and Kerrigan off the tour party. If this is the next best spinner after Monty we've going to struggle in a few years time.
