If Moeen Ali doesn’t get his act together very soon this will be his last game in this series. Denly looks more of a threat so far.
I really feel for Moeen but he is in a bad place at the moment form-wise.

Rashid offers something slightly different and can also bat a bit.

I have changed my mind a couple of times about this but I originally thought they would have been better with a fourth seamer for this match and Stokes as option five. Root and Denly can throw a bit of spin.

Obviously Anderson’s injury changed the dynamic and in fairness to Root, he is juggling the shift to three, and captaining in the field. Bowling a lot more overs is maybe a bit of an ask.
