Denly dropped too. I'd rather have Curran than Woods anyway, more variety as a left armer and a good bat. Ollie Robinson is an interesting selection at 22, very bold. I think he'll play. Sibley, despite 50 for 3 in the last trip will open with Burns again.
Tipping it down in Manchester as I write, but its a brilliant draining ground. Perhaps Curran opening up with Archer and Robinson/Stokes as 2nd and 3rd seamers maybe? So it could be Burns, Sibley, Crawley, Root, Pope, Stokes, Buttler, Curran, Robinson, Bess, Archer.
Broads still in the squad of course and if he's not too petulant, could be in a side, then studded with seam and swingers, sadly Bess is then twelfers, a victim of conditions and modern, wham bang thinking. Curran, Archer, Stokes, Robinson and Broad! Depends on conditions tomorrow, but I fancy an England win this time. As a batting line up, there's not a bunny in sight!
