Both Broad and Anderson in and Curran and Archer left out smacks of over reliance on old guard. Broad and Anderson will not physically cope with 5 Tests in just over a month.

I would have gone with Archer ahead of Broad. That said, Broad has skittled the Cons before and hopefully will do again.

Think its a case of Archer not being 100%, and the selectors being very concerned about the top order, so they've stacked the batting line up down to no 9.

Hopefully have overcast, muggy conditions as the bowling attack lacks pace.

Day two. Would've liked to have seen Archer in the flesh.

One, two and three for me. Plus days one and two at Lords, day one at OT, and day 4 at the Oval (sometime in late autumn!). After 10 WC games including the final. I love being retired.

Shame Archer has a calf injury, would have liked to see him getting the ball up around the Aussie batsmen's throats.

Hoping Woakes has a good game.

If he were fully fit I think Jofra would play. Makes sense not to risk him here, Edgbaston has never been a ground that particularly requires express pace either has it?

I’m going on Saturday and Sunday, I’ve booked Monday off work in case it goes to day 5. Unlikely I know, I have a feeling that the game will be all over by Saturday afternoon.

There’s probably a case, but the weakness in batting means it’s unlikely. I personally think they should take the gloves off him and basically force him to focus on being a class top order bat. We need that more than a wicketkeeper.

Got wicket keepers coming out of their ears at the moment. It's tough on Foakes that he's not in the team. His red ball form is better than Jonny.

Utterly agree on Foakes, though I’d ask Bairstow to field and Denly to step aside (as much as I think Denny deserves his chance, I think the Aussie quicks will expose him horribly).
