I cant see any changes being made to the batting line up for the next test, as much as some here detest certain players they are encouraged to play with no fear and are rewarded in knowing no knee jerk reactions will be taken if it doesn't work out .
Bowling however is another matter we may go with no spinners at Lords. However, if we were to chose one Rehan Ahmed would offer some mystery but I can't see him being given another chance during the ashes due to his inexperience. Which really only leaves us with Liam Dawson and Will Jack's.
I'd expect us to replace Mo with Wood unless it seems that a spinner is needed

It’s not about “detesting” it’s about not rating

stokes is a wicket waiting to happen ? looks frustrated in having to just bat himself in for the team,
it will not last long one way or the other

There’s Lyth (not the worst in fairness) and Dom Bess….

I dont feel either are in the reckoning

I suspect Jamie Smith is one we are looking to fast track into the team.

So; given the iffy forecast for tomorrow, what's the minimum lead we'd need to not lose this; 250? 300?

What is the weather like is it most of the day? Because yesterday we only bowled 36 overs all day with the weather! You never set a target to what the weather will be tomorrow because it might not rain at all

40/ 30 % chance of rain during playing time from the forecast I just read

That could mean it blows over hardly rains or it can rain most of the day! Target wise I’d want 300
