Leach and Stone in, Broad and Robinson out. Leave the rest as they are to get some more game time against a quality attack.

Missing a trick by not having Parky in the squad.

Stone for Robinson.

Not sure I like this new selection process.

The reluctance to play a spinner is beyond me

I'm glad we had extended the tail of the batting line up (Wood at 8).

We looked so assured with the bat in the first test match  :o

Let's hope we don't lose early wickets or it will be all over by Saturday.

So basically if Stokes/Woakes/Curran don’t play England won’t play a spinner? 🙄

Jeez Sibley and Burns are a tough watch. 18000 in to watch and they get these two!

Yes pretty much I think. And probably...an all rounder needs to play for Foakes to come back as well. For whatever reason I don’t know there must be doubts about Foakes ability to contribute with the bat.
Unless England do away with the no 6 spot when Stokes/Butler return. I suppose that is possible.

Seeing Sibley score two boundaries on the off-side in one over?! Pinch me!

Bizarre that Foakes (FC average 38) isn't trusted with the bat at 7 but Buttler (FC average 33.5) is...

Totally agree Jimbo. A guess would be Butler to return thou for the India series.

Huge fan of Pope’s potential but I’d like to see a score from him today. Stokes can bat in his position and is a shoe in to return.

Ed Smith had been something of a convenient target for disagreements of selection decisions, particularly the role of front-line keepers and spinner, but it doesn't seem that his departure has changed the thinking to any great degree.
