Root's economy albeit partially down to their approach is really helping cover Moeen's fucked finger and stokes's knee.

That's why I believe we will go with an extra fast bowler at Lords, one of the current ones possibly Anderson steps down , and Wood and one of Potts Woakes steps in for mo

Just get ali off ffs. Letting them off the hook here

Jesus Christ things have gotten desperate when they’re letting Ali bleed runs again

Agreed. Just feels too much of a liability with so little runs to play with.

If stokes can’t bowl would like to woakes come in for lords test for ali and use root as the spin option . woakes has a great record at lords and can bat to a very good standard also doesn’t usually spin that much at lords

Woakes has to be in the side at Lords as you say. He's magic there. I wonder how many tests they feel Wood can play. Need him at Old Trafford and the Oval. Could he do Lords as well? Drop Jimmy and Moeen for those two.

Didn't realise the new ball was this close.

Hmm. Keep the pressure on lads.

I’d rather them bowl Brook than Ali.

Has to be Broad and Robinson until we either lose or win. Ali has got a lame spinning finger.

Stokes...time to justify that knighthood Sir! (Again)

He deserves one for that knock in the last home ashes alone
