Lawrence and Foakes had decent knocks in England's 2nd innings. Wood then bowled a bit, Robinson did not.

It's a pity as he's probably the best bowler in the squad for this trip (and it seems Stokes won't be able to bowl much in this match) but it's obviously not a surprise.
The choice seems to be between Leach and Mahmood. The pitch will presumably play a part in selection but I won't be shocked if Mahmood gets the nod.
Would rather we played both Leach and Mahmood and left Overton out.
No idea what the England setup even see him in.
Why does Woakes get picked whe hes averaging like 50 away from home? Broad and Anderson bowled decently in Aus,.Yet they get pushed aside.

England win the toss and bat first. Mahmood is left out of the 12 I gave before.

Coke and hookers are bad for heart health. Who knew.
Hello all, here's to a cracking series
Still not sure about Root at 3. Yes he's our best bat, but I'm not sure it makes Lawrence better by enough of a margin to make up for how much worse it makes Root. If you get what I mean.
I'd still stick Stokes up at 3 personally, since he doesn't bowl much nowadays anyway
Hello everyone, let the misery resume.
Just a reminder that the last time England played a test match on this ground, we were bowled out for 187 and 132 and lost by 10 wickets.
