They've dropped Woakes for Toby Roland-Jones.

I'm still not sure about the decision to drop him, as surely Roland-Jones could have come back in and Woakes could have been used more as an all-rounder, easing himself back in. Malan could have been tried at three instead of Westley, whose technical flaws look too great to conquer at test level.

The problem with that is that it leaves us with a 6 man attack and a bowler who needs overs to find his rhythm might not get too many chances in that situation. a couple of championship matches is much more use to us.
I've said before that I don't mind Graeme Swann as much as others do. However, his funny voices are doing my head in a bit today
