Englands middle order still looks weak, Vince and Ballance look vulnerable.
Still dont understand why Borthwick didnt get a go.
When Stokes is back, id also pick a porpoer keeper, as i think Bairstow, Ali and Woakes are wasted as 7,8,9
Cook
OPENER
Borthwick
Root
Bairstow
Stokes
Ali
Woakes
KEEPER
Broad
Anderson
I think thy will stick with hales for a bit longer
And for the keeper, the option would probably be foakes
This also means that you have your 2 spinners, as i actually dont think rashid is that much of a better bowler than borthwick. And when we go to the subcontinent, another spinner (Ansari/Rashid) could come in for a seamer if needs be
Going back to the game, Bairstow-Ali partnership is key i think
