Not against Starc on a quick pitch. Just need the top six to score loads

Seriously - hopefully if Starc is a bit rusty he might leak a few runs which takes the control they have away. Otherwise we need Root and Stokes miracle innings again

To be honest, if you'd had a bet that someone was going to be dropped, all your candidates would've been from the top 6 batsmen rather than the bowling unit, wouldn't they?

Indeed - I do think Woakes is off colour, whether a reaction to the World Cup or just to the injuries he's had (and presumably would have been the one to drop out if Jimmy were fit). I can see the sense in Roy dropping to four. Would be tough to bring in Sibley now - one only Championship game in a while and he got 0 and 4. Plus he is more of a sticker than a dasher - as much as we need those I think him and Burns would be a touch negative at the top of the order.

Pope will come in at the Oval should we lose and will definitely feature in NZ/SA. Possible recall for Ian Bell as well

I mean if you were looking for a like-for-like replacement (swing bowler + decent bat) you'd go for Curran, wouldn't you? Do they think Overton has something that will particularly suit him to OT?

Completely forgot about Curran - that would make more sense. Lumbering 6ft 5 oaf or talented all rounder?

I feel for Curran, 12th man for basically the entire summer

Maybe he's got webbed feet and oily feathers
