You can watch a live stream on the ECB website like the previous test warm ups, no sound like before though unfortunately.

Did Eng finally get the opener it was always looking for

West Indies poised to bench Campbell and Hope. Uncapped Joshua Da Silva tipped to make debut - he scored 133* and 56* in their second warm up game. Cornwall and Oshane Thomas could also get a look in.

Shai Hope or Peter Fullon - who�s the more surprising to have scored hundreds in each innings of a test?

Two Meter Peter easily.

Shai Hope in 'bloke who averages 52 in ODIs is quite good at cricket' shock.

I think it'll come down to the pitch. If it looks like a green, seaming paradise with overcast skies, then you would be a fool to not choose Anderson and probably Woakes too.
If it is dry and bouncy, then Wood or Archer would have to be picked. Wood bowled faster so I'd be tempted by him, Archer seemed slower than normal.

Burns Sibley Crawley Root Stokes Pope Buttler...
Bess (Offers more with the bat than Leach, who would make the tail too long and isn't special enough to go above him).
Woakes/Archer/Wood (I really like Woakes but if it is a quick pitch would go with one of Archer or Wood).
Broad (Came back with a bang. Can't deny him a spot)!
Anderson (He's England's best ever bowler. And he'll get to bowl from the James Anderson End during a test match. Legendary).

I think Buttler might produce the goods in this match. Which would be rubbish for Foakes, but bad form can't last forever... can it?

The thing about these team selections discussions at the moment is that no one ever picks Curran.
Yet when he plays, England win.

Tim Bresnan was the same. Its hard to tell whether its a statistical freak or whether Curran brings something intangible that is not obvious from the TV screen.

Yes very much so. Perhaps a different angle and a mature brain for a youngster combined.
Looks like Archer is increasingly unlikely to play as the fallout continues from the lockdown breach. Plus some idiots who want to abuse him on social media.
I wouldn�t pick him-going with unchanged same as @alexhilly1492 ...maybe leaving a batsman out to get Anderson in.

If Campbell is dropped Bess would be bowling to all right handers which is a difficult call with Leach available.

There is something about Curran. I like him. I just think Woakes is better.

Confirmed Stokes is carrying a niggle so BBC say we may need bowling cover
Retain the spinner and then Anderson,Archer or Wood or Root to fill in the spinners role?
Tricky call...I always like a spin option so I�m going with Anderson in and that means we leave out a batsman

Sibley for his strike rate?

Just kidding

If you lose a batsman (Pope or Crawley?), then woakes has to play to shorten the tail.

Burns, Sibley, Crawley, Root, Stokes, Butler, Woakes, Bess, Archer, Broad, Anderson ?
