Been confirmed it’s an unchanged side with Bairstow as keeper

Call up Pope, get him to the Oval inbetween a Surrey game, don't pick him. Why bother?

Because Flower & Cook are still secretly in charge and they want Essex to win?  :D

Should have called up Morkel & Clarke as well!

reportedly Bairstow back as keeper batsman for the Oval

which is a bit of a surprise

wonder if a frank exchange of views has taken place  :)

Is it really a surprise? YJB worked his (No Swearing Please) off to become an a international quality keeper batsmen, very few sides have a specialist keeper of world class quality such as a James Foster for example.
In addition his batting is superior when he keeps wicket so for the team it makes sense for him to keep.

Add in Butler was hardly amazing in the last test with the gloves and personally think YJB is the better keeper of the two and the best keeper/batsmen option

I fully expected Bairstow to take the gloves back as soon as he was fit enough to.

I think with Bairstow  it's a reasurance thing maybe it's because he was in and out of England team

Makes him tougher to drop. If you're playing solely as a batsman, you're judged purely on runs. If the keeper scores runs, its still seen as a bit of a bonus. Way more keepers are dropped for bad keeping than bad batting.

Yep this. Bairstow's bleated on for a long time about wanting to bat higher, last test he got the chance to bat in a proper spot and played two really poor shots (not for the first time this series). Combine that with Buttler in the side scoring runs and keeping last game and he's clearly feeling the pressure.

Happy that Vihari gets a go as he is from part of India :) ....but completely agree with Sunny Gavaskar regarding Karun Nair. You pick a guy in the squad as a batsman and then you get another guy as a replacement and pick him ahead. This Indian team is a mess under the Kohli-Shastri combo. Hope they show Shastri the door and get someone else in his place who is not just a yes-man for Kohli.

I thought it was pretty strange, granted I've never heard of this Vihari chap(mind you he's averaging 60 in first class cricket), but I just saw on Twitter that Vihari can bowl some semi decent off breaks whereas Nair doesn't bowl. Perhaps that was the deciding factor.

Mo batting where he wants for England at 3.
Looks an easy paced pitch with plenty of runs in it batting first.

He must have worked on it then. When he was tearing up the Essex leagues in 14 & 15, he bowled with some success, but didn't look enough to trouble a real decent player on a test pitch...

Got to feel for Nair. The selectors obviously rate him (I mean, they don't give out test triple hundreds in cereal boxes!) but the coach / captain clearly don't.
