Crawley would seem the obvious candidate to me personally. Move bairstow to opener.
You might as well just drop Bairstow then, because he's not an opening batsman.

Who are you dropping for Foakes?
For the first test, Crawley and pushed Pope to top of the order.

Crawley, who has a worse test batting average than Foakes or ButtlerWho are you dropping for Foakes?
You're not going into a test match without a spinner, so it's not Ali.
Bairstow was the best batsman in the world last summer, so it's not him.
Stokes is the captain, so not him.
Woakes has to be there because Stokes can't bowl.
And me. Get the feeling this team aren’t interested in putting in the hard work and doing the “boring” drills. Fucking off to Scotland to play golf a week before the ashes said it allHenry Moeran

What's frustrating the England fans so much isn't losing - people can live with that, albeit it's of course disappointing. But seeing a team packed with so much ability being undone by failing at the basics is just exasperating and feels so avoidable.
Pretty much sums it up for me.

Woakes has bowled well today and was out of the attack way too long

We’re basically having to take 13 wickets per innings against the world test champions.13 dropped catches for England in the series and 118 extras have done for England
Neither is Crawley, average in the 20’s. At least bairstow opens in white ball cricketYou might as well just drop Bairstow then, because he's not an opening batsman.
