Surely Vince goes and Malan moves up to 3?
I think they will go:

Cook
Stoneman
Malan
Root
Stokes
Bairstow
Livingstone
Ali
Woakes
Broad
Anderson

Surely you wouldn't play Livingstone as a specialist bat down at 7?

I think 7 is too low for Bairstow,they will play Ali I would have thought-and Anderson,Broad,Woakes,Stokes,Ali and a bit of Root/Malan is more than enough bowling.
For me,the attack is boring and one-dimensional as has been said already.

Cook
Stoneman
Root
Bairstow
Malan
Stokes
Woakes
Broad/Wood/Overton/Garton/Footitt/Mullally
Anderson
Leach

A lot of the journos talking about whether Stokes will be fit to bowl in the 1st Test. Then if he isn't does he play as a batter only? If so where in the line up? In for who? Etc...

If Stokes can't bowl then I'd play Wood instead of Vince. We can't go into a test match with only 3 fit seamers.

Root to 3, Malan to 4, Stokes 5, JB 6, MO 7.

Then Woakes, Overton, Broad and Jimmy.

They’ll go for

Cook
Stoneman
Malan
Root
Stokes (batter only)
Bairstow
Ali
Woakes
Broad
Wood
Anderson

That’s what I think the ECB will go with. They’ll back Anderson, broad and woakes to bowl Williamson out

I don’t get what this obsession with Wood is?

He’s not that good, he’s not that quick and he is not a long term prospect!

They want to stick their hairy ball-sacks on the block and pick a winning team:

Cook
Stoneman
Root
Malan
Stokes
Livingstone
Bairstow
Woakes
Overton
Anderson
Leach

I like everything about this side apart from Military medium Overton. Not many options though.Is T R-J far off being fit?

I suspect TRJ is a tad quicker.

England try to plan a bit for the future all the time, it's just the way it works.bowling wise if, and I say if, Stuart broad is on the downslope TRJ would seem to be a straight replacement style wise.

Broad when he started his test career was actually a pretty good batsmen also but could never combine the two for long.

Roland Jones looks to me like he can hold a bat well enough.

For the first test I don't think this will happen but I would leave out Ali and play Leach, a specialist spinner for the first time since Panesar

I've discounted Kerrigan I don't know if he bats
