Confirmed squad:Joe Root (c), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Sam Curran, Joe Denly, Lewis Gregory, Jack Leach, Jason Roy, Olly Stone, Chris Woakes. Uninspired by Denly, would prefer Malan to Stone and Overton to Gregory. And no Foakes is poor. By my calculation it will have to be Moeen batting at 6 as well which is a place too high...... Judging by this squad and the Ashes training camp squad I can’t see the team for the first test being much different from Roy Burns Denly Root Stokes Bairstow Buttler Ali Woakes Broad Anderson I personally wouldn’t have Ali or Broad in my team. Neither are in any kind of form at the moment and we can’t afford to be sentimental. Denly is a pretty uninspiring choice but at least he’s in decent form at the moment.

I would say it would be Archer not Denly with Bairstow at 3 and Buttler, Moeen and Woakes up the order 1......

I would agree but the talk at the moment is that Archer won’t be considered until the second test due to a side strain. If he’s fully fit though i’ve no doubt he’ll play in place of Denly.
