Looks like Wood is playing, Strauss has handed Lyth test cap number 666 and Wood number 667. I assume Jordan makes way for Wood.

No news on toss yet; it's an important one to win as if you're batting you can very easily find yourselves 10-2, or in England's case 38-6!

Cook is a useless tosser...... so a huge morning ahead for England. We really need to set the right tone for a summer of international cricket.

Hopefully Southee and Boult will still be bowling T20 lengths after their stint in IPL but somehow I doubt it!

Going to be tough batting. I'm glad to see Wood get a chance, but since BBC haven't actually announced the full team on their text service I'm guessing it's Jordan who misses out.

According to Cricinfo yes.

I'm surprised Jimmy Neesham isn't playing for them. He's looked really good when I've seen him play.

They must have seen something in Wood, because looking at his record last year it wasn't that great and he hasn't played many games. Hopefully he's just got talent they've spotted.

I think that it's his skiddy/whippy technique that gets him the nod ahead of Jordan.

3 good balls and one terrible dismissal for Cook. We're in a world of trouble. Double hundreds for Root and Ali please.

Incidentally this isn't going to silence the KP issue. Bell's form other than one century has been terrible.
