Is the pitch gonna be a green top at Nottingham? If so the Duke John Hastings has put forward Durham seamer Chris Ruthworth.

I really hope Finn picks up a couple more here, and takes a really good bag away from this test. Lovely to see him back, and returning to some sort of form.

Sidebottom won't be considered, he's retired from international cricket

I'd have a word with him, and see if he would be willing to do a job for a couple of tests.

Woakes - coming back from injury, but not as poor as people like to make out
Jordan - keep him for one-dayers at the mo
Wood - Will be fit for next test
Footitt - way too unproven for a crucial test
Plunko - safe pick, could do a job at Trent Bridge
Brooks - Left field, worth a shout

Peter Nevill gets away with a leg side gloved catch.

I agree with Cattus, I don't think Woakes is as bad as people think has a similar FC record to Stokes, doesn't have the cajones to match mind . I also agree about Jordan, I would keep him for white ball cricket, I don't think he's a good enough bowler at test level yet, can't argue with his fielding though! Would Overton be worth the risk for Trent Bridge, they seem keen to get him in the setup but perhaps they just see him as a one day player at the moment?

Was that a tactical review?

Can't really understand reviewing that.

Can only be between Plunkett and Wood for the next test, none of the others are "test ready".

Can't see Jordan playing a test for England again. Just not good enough with the ball.

Woakes injured

England wouldn't risk blooding in a new player unless the series was already decided.

Don't rate Jordan in the slightest. Many better option than him even in white ball cricket. poor

England being generous and letting Starc have a net session.

Hazlewood gone for 11. Stokes with the wicket.

Lead is 100. Starc with his fifth Test fifty.

What do you class as close? 

Smith only averages about 8 more runs per innings than Ballance :-)
