so, onto.... Old Trafford (again) for the decider.
What should England do selection wise? the attack, whilst looking spin shy, is looking in good health. Try wedging Anderson, Broad, Archer, Woakes and Wood into that.
Personally i would drop Crawley, Pope and Sam Curran. Pope has not impressed with the bat for me, while Curran has had his test and continues to display his talent. Crawley needs to move over again.
looks like Chris Silverwood has built up Anderson and says Archer's ban will hold nothing against him, also that Bess & Buttler will remain.
in light of that, and that Wood was not quite as impactful as Woakes, i would line up with
Burns
Sibley
Denly
Root
Stokes
Buttler
Bess
Broad
Woakes
Archer
Anderson
