Root says one of Archer/Wood will definitely play. So we might be sticking with the same composition 6-5 split and no Crawley again.

The real test starts today! Eng vs Pak! Really looking forward to see this match up. Two strong bowling line ups. Batting could prove to be Pakistan's Achilles heel. This will also be a good test for the young England batting lineup. Bring it on!

Having a bowl then. Pakistan playing two spinners seems, err, stupid?

Yes, expecting Shadab to play the all rounder's role. I dont think he is good enough in either department.

Shadab Khan’s batting picked over Fawad Alam’s. Pakistanis have a meltdown on Twitter

He’s right up there with out best two in our conditions.

Often panned on this forum, but does not let us down.
Probably his batting has gone down a bit while his bowling has gone up.

Not sure why some England fans hate him - gets the ball to nip around at decent pace.

I think it's more a case of Woakes not being rated, but every team over the years has had players who contribute but perhaps don't hit the headlines with 100's or five fours...

A genuine allrounder he may not be, like Stokes for example who is, but add up the contribution over the match and he is there.

He comes across as a modest unassuming player and not one of the stars if you like.

Think we could be starting to see the finish line for Anderson. He’s been below par so far this summer. And usually in home conditions that never happens

Only by one bloke tbh, and he seems to have vanished
