What is everyone's side for tomorrow then? Not that it will matter as there will likely be about 100 overs bowled in 5 days according to the forecast (still time for us to collapse).
Jennings
Burns
Ali
Root
Stokes
Buttler
Foakes
Woakes
Rashid
Leach
Anderson
I don't really like Ali at 3 but not sure Denly has done enough to play, ideally I want Leach to play but not sure if 3 spinners is the way forward, could see them getting a big workload (weather permitting obviously).
Very weird, don't remember a time when literally any of the touring party would be selected in the starting line up and I wouldn't be hugely surprised.
When did Denly become a mystery spinner?
Did he bowl when he previously played for England as i cannot remember.
I wouldn't have Jennings anywhere near the team which means he's in

Can't see them leaving Ali out for a while.No Moeen?
Can't see them leaving Ali out for a while.
Hope he doesn't bat three though.
So Moeen is the anchor.I know what you mean, but I don't like a top 3 of Jennings, Burns and Denly. They may come good, but 23-3 looks a lot more likely than 223-3 !
So Moeen is the anchor.
I like Moeen's batting but feel when he has played at three he's just playing with the handbrake on. He just looks ill at ease there IMO.
that's got 21-3 after 2 overs all over it...Cricinfo reckon, should Jennings 'struggle', that the top 3 for the 2nd test could contain Burns, Moeen and Stokes.
NopeNo Moeen?
And finally he manages it 98-4Jennings is trying hard to get out
And finally he manages it 98-4
Stokes bowled around his legs 103-5Looking at the line up, 150 currently looks quite a long way off.
