England selectors had a No.3 hiding in plain sight under their noses.

Lovely innings, but a century at No3 against a spin attack does not confirm anything. Got my fingers crossed for him, as we need a number 3 as much as a one and two, but this proves little technique wise. Big heart though.

Agreed. He got bounced out a lot against South Africa a few years ago - which for a potential long term number 3 isn't ideal.

I think he should play as a specialist batsmen and let Foakes have a proper run.
