Well, they've got neither - they're both out I agree with UB, they should take at least one youngster - Overton probably as Curran's too young - but it will be the opening pair plus Plunkett, Woakes and Jordan (sigh).

I think he's in danger of missing out but not definite. Is it worth risking him even if he's given the OK? Rest him up and make sure he's fit for the Ashes series, throw in a couple of youngsters and see how they do

Some of them need to be playing though: surprised one of them didn't play against Pakistan to see what they're like. The Ashes is no series to be blooding newbies. It would be good to have a left-armer again (I think Rankin is Irish again) Curran is very much for the future though. Never a...
