Even though Foakes is on this tour as the 2nd keeper, don’t be surprised to see Alex Davies from Lancs come heavily into the frame for the keeping spot in the summer

How good of a keeper is Davies?

That would be a monster step back. He simply isn’t a red ball cricketer

Cook is looking sad - he's lost that scoring feeling!
I think I am starting to agree with some on here now....every time he bats I get the feeling he'll get out any second!
So I would quite like to see.....

Hameed (he is looking more up for it this season in comparison to last)
Stoneman (he is doing ok and seems to have a gritty mentality - he just needs a few decent knocks to get his confidence going)
Cook (we don't seem to have another 3 so why not see how Cook does)
Roooot (he seems determined to bat at 4!)
Bairstow (he would surely be a better bet here)
Stokes
Keeper - Foakes/Buttler (take your pick - I would quite like to see Foakes as he is a fantastic gloveman and his batting is pretty decent these days)
Woakes (love the idea of having Stokes, Foakes, Woakes in the teamsheet)
Broad/Wood
Leach
Anderson

Where would you bat Davies? Open and keep like at lancs or drop down the order?

Opening and Keeping is not going to work.  I've posted this before, only 4 players have scored over 1000 test runs batting in the top 3 whilst keeping, Sanga is the only one to average over 40.

Showed more promise with the bat than Broad who clearly doesn't cherish his wicket at all !!

Broad should be number 11 whatever he had he lost quite a long time ago

Really impressed with leach and bairstow again left with the tail

I hope this tour is the last one he bats 7, if Vince did not play in this side Foakes in would not weaken the batting.foskes First class average is decent

YJB would be averaging near 50 if it were not for the times he has got out with us nine down playing ridiculous shots!
