Oh no, Moeen might have a side strain. That would really be an absolute disaster.
Finn now out of the tour.
I liked Curran in the shorter format, but he's not a Test bowler. He'd need to develop significantly, I find it really weird that we haven't picked Plunkett.
Bowling is where I have bigger concerns for the first test, With Stokes out and Ali looking 50/50 I think we look a bit thin. Hopefully Crane will have another decent performance and Overton or Ball can put a hand up in the next couple of days, I'll feel a lot happier if they do.
