Batting Ollie Pope at #3 just seems like setting him up for failure to me - with our suspect openers, he could easily be coming in in the first couple of overs against an excellent attack with a new ball.......and as far as I know, he's been a middle order batsman through and through his whole career.

Root is our best batsman, and now he doesn't have the burden of the captaincy. He should be the one taking on the highest pressure role and coming in one down.

Glad to see the selectors rewarding good early season form from young, talented players. Brook definitely should play instead of Bairstow. We're not going to be a good Test team for a while, so we need to think of the future and give opportunities to players who could be part of the next great England side. That's not going to be Jonny B.

I would say the same about the bowlers, but everyone apart from Broad & Anderson seems to be injured!
