Bumrah would be great and would obviously get picked but is he going to be fit?

I saw him bowling in the nets at Lord's and he looked to be for to bowl.  Whether he is fit enough to play a 5 day test match is another matter.  A few years ago there would be tour matches interspersed with the tests so that players coming back from injury or needing time in the middle could get ready for the tests bit playing a 5 match series in 6 weeks allows no time at all for that

Isn't Bumrah's issue that he's got a broken bone in his non bowling hand? So fitness shouldn't be an issue. It's just he can't field or bat.

To be honest, you can't go wrong with Woakes technique, so why not let him have a go at opening the batting? He certainly can't do any worse than any other of the openers that have been given a go, and he still has his bowling even if he fails!

1. Cook
2. Woakes
3. Root
4. Pope
5. Bairstow
6. Stokes
7. Buttler
8. S Curran
9. Rashid
10. Broad
11. Anderson

Only don't have 6 bowlers if you can't get 6 bowlers into the side is my opinion!

Woakes is batting as good as anyone else in the team so why not let him play as one?

Hard to argue given the way he batted last time out - but there's a reason none of the big scorers in the series (bar Kohli) are middle order players.  None made against the new ball as yet.

Chris Woakes isn't a 'quality all rounder' that's Ben Stokes. Woakes gets away with it in home conditions yet when he plays overseas he continually lets the side down

Been saying it for a while now
But he's a forum favourite whose performances cannot be questioned
Even when Some one on here published his stats

I am not comparing or glorifying but I am surprised to see India be such considering I thought they were a better team compared to Pakistan who were 2-2 in 2016 and 1-1 in 2018.

One of Broad, Curran or Woakes has to go if Stokes is coming back in. Enjoy that chat Ed Smith!

I’d prefer Buttler opening over Woakes.

Would be a shame to see Curran out, the lads done exactly what was asked of him.

They have already hinted at "rotation" so maybe that's the way forward
