Lawrence has been released for County Championship games for Essex

So they're going to play an extra bowler/all-rounder?

BBC has Pope and Lawrence both in squad. 2 hours ago.

Woakes also fit, perhaps not a favourite to play as he had no cricket at all but an option for England.

With Malan back in the team and adding experience, Pope, Crawley and Lawrence may be playing for one spot in the near future.
Head says Pope has the most potential but it�s not clear cut with the younger batsmen.

Lawrence in for Butler and Wood in for Curran for me (assuming that Anderson is fine to play to back tests).

Not sure what Pope has done to deserve a recall to the squad at this stage. Certainly falls into the James Vince category of player that you would love to make it as they are so good to watch, but so far has come up short. Would have preferred to have seen Livingstone as a guy playing with confidence

Pope was released to play for Surrey in the Royal London. The fact that Surrey's championship game has been cancelled might be a factor in having him around again. It's at the Oval too. Might as well!

When you have a top score of 34 in your last 15 test innings, it suggests to me that he has some work to do on his game. Not sure being thrown in against a very good seam attack is the best thing at this stage and there are people who have done more to get that chance at this moment in time

Correct!

Anderson or Robinson poss to miss out under the managing workloads banner.
I think should that be right I�d def have Woakes in the team in place of Curran.

England clearly like Curran but he has not really done enough for me, on bowling alone Woakes is the better player.

With batting coverage Woakes and Ali lower down, those tipped Pope may be right-he averages over 100 at the Oval-to bat 5

Burns has been made vice captain for the rest of the series. It may well be that Jimmy sits out this game so he can play (possibly his last game for England at Old Trafford)

Team will be
Burns
Hameed
Malan
Rooooooooooooot
Pope (probably, but could be Lawrence not sure)
Bairstow (wkt)
Mo
Woakes
Overton
Robinson
Wood

Curran needs to play some county cricket.

Curran needs to never play test cricket again.

Fixed that for you

I�m a Woakes fan but if the team is right we have 5 bowlers and no tail. I just think we are stronger with him in.

Manormanic · « **Reply #582 on:** August 31, 2021, 07:29:44 PM »

Like the team, but would leave Bairstow at five if we bat.

Buzz · « **Reply #583 on:** September 01, 2021, 08:53:45 AM »

Humm seems the telegraph was wrong and Moeen is the new VC.

Edit
I should add this is something I am very happy about Mo I would be a brilliant captain and will be a real help for Joe No1 Root.

I don't think we're in a position to give Robinson or Anderson a break. Also not sure that Wood would be that effective on what will be a pretty flat deck. Woakes in for Curran and Pope at 5 are the only two changes I'd make; don't like messing around with what is a momentum team.

Can't wait to see how India line up, suffice to say they have more problems than ourselves...
