I think it could be -

Burns
Sibley
Pope/Lawrence
Root
Stokes
Pope/Lawrence
Buttler
Bess
Leach
Archer
Broad

I don't think Root will move from 4 so that leaves Pope or Lawrence to bat at 3 and 6 in whatever order. Although maybe Stokes may do it. They have massively backed Bess so I don't see that changing. Broad plays over Anderson purely as Anderson played the last one in Sri Lanka.

They will ruin Pope if he bats any higher than 4, which is where the skipper should be. Suspect they may even just throw Moeen in.

Moeen�s got one of the best records against India - he has to play

Well Lawrence batted 3/4 for Essex so you�d think they would slot him in at 3 and allow pope to bat at 6 if selected

Two hundreds last tour from Moeen

I am struggling to see England competing on tour. Or am i been too negative?

Just feel England batting v spin will be exposed plus Indian's spinners so much better than their english counter parts?

I feel the same. After seeing how India played in Aus without key players it does make me think the worst. Plus our spin attack isnt as good as theirs.

Need some guys to stand up and be counted with big hundreds.

Although most of the batsmen play spin well in this team. Its Burns, Sibley and Crawley that have the question marks over them.

Can't remember him batting at 3 for a long time.

This is about right. But you could have Butter at 6 and have either Ali or Foakes at 7. Lawrence to play ahead of Pope, possibly staying at 5, with Stokes at 3.

I do think Ali is an option, but I suppose it comes down to what do the management think we need runs or an extra bowler.

I think by batting Stokes at 3 you severely dent the amount of overs he can bowl though, and he may be needed for some wonder spells on flat pitches to make something happen etc....
