Foakes back in for the third test and a debut for 18-year-old Rehan Ahmed. England handing a start to a teenager is unheard of in my lifetime. I am really liking the approach of this new management team. First BazBall, now 'if they're good enough, they're old enough'. Brilliant.

I wonder if they would have picked this team if the match wasn't a dead rubber.

Still good call

Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Ben Foakes, Rehan Ahmed, Ollie Robinson, Jack Leach, Mark Wood.

Yeah, that's the acid test, isn't it? Would they take the safe option in a must-win game? Cynical me says no way, but with this new approach, I'm less certain.

Got to also admit, that attack looks a bowler short unless Stokes is feeling fit as a fiddle.
