Nope Curran not in the squad either. They have Mahmood and Robinson as reserves, but not sure if they are only Covid reserves.
I did wonder about Ali coming in, would certainly add to the bowling attack, but think it would be a little harsh on Lawrence, I reckon he will get one more test, if he doesn't do much I suspect Crawley will come back in for the third test assuming he is fit.
Ali needs to come in and focus on his bowling without the pressure of batting three. I’d give Leach or Bess a rest and let them soak up what they’ve learned.
I reckon Woakes could make that ball talk when it’s reversing but when the pitch is flat and the ball has gone soft, he’ll struggle.
