I'd give Bresnan another chance. I don't rate him but since he played in the first test I'd keep him in.
Sidebottom is a one trick pony. He'll only be sucessful in English conditions where the ball swings for him. We found that out in the West Indies. Plus his fitness is a big worry and while we have Onions taking wickets we don't need Sidebottom.
Bell will be back-up hopefully. If Collingwood continues to fail, then we may consider Bell but for now Bell should miss out.
Hopefully when Fred is fit, he'll come back in for Bresnan and we'll have a decent 5 man attack.
