  • I'm not sure that Bess having been dropped has anything to do with Ali's batting position or the selection of Lawrence? Ah, I see, you are assuming Bess for Ali is the straight change - whilst this will be the case in one sense, I would also consider Lawrence for Woakes to strengthen batting and bowling, but they're already making far more changes than you would be comfortable making in a winning team, so don't see it happening...

  • assuming Bess for Ali is the straight change

    I think this will be the case. Ali will be told to go and focus on his bowling without the pressure of scoring runs. If he does put a knock together, that’s a bonus.

  • Oh agreed - I was advocating for Foakes at 3 to allow the extra bowler in Woakes as worried about our attack with no Archer and Jimmy...
