Decent shout but I don't see Stokes opening ever; gonna be interesting when Jonny's fit again.I'd have him open instead of Crawley and stick YJB in at 6.

Basically his injury has given Brook his opportunity.
Just hope we stick with Foakes behind the stumps, but I fear he may be the one to make way.
Id drop pope b4 foakes worth 20 runs an innings behind the stumpsI don't think it will happen but I think he's perfectly capable of doing it, still think he's got the best defensive technique in the squad. I think you're right though, Foakes seems like the 'easy' option to drop.

I know it's easy to knock the county game (I do anyway) but it's a fair effort to have two international teams playing 7,000 miles apart within 24 hours.England one day game against Bangladesh

It really goes to show they have a test team and an ODI team, with Root, Brook and maybe Duckett to parachute in time. (Stokes has retired hasn't he from this form?????).
