Rashid injured. I would definitely be dropping Denly, Ali and Jimmy. Bring in Leach, Foakes (to keep and bat) and Archer. Move Stokes to 4, Bairstow to 5 (he's lucky on form, but has enough in the bank), Foakes at 6, Buttler 7 and Woakes 8...
If there was a convincing option to open (never seen Sibley, he's having a decent season, wouldn't be against bringing him in) you could make an argument for dropping one of the JB's, moving Roy to 5 and shuffling the order accordingly...

Foakes for Bairstow? Tell Bairstow to go get some runs in county cricket and find some form
Also, why no Rashid in the equation?
So team for Lords:
1 Burns
2 Roy
3 Root
4 Denly
5 Buttler
6 Stokes
7 Foakes
8 Leach or Rashid?
9 Woakes
10 Broad
11 Archer
