Our top order is very special, Bairstow, Roy & Hales and then you still have Buttler in reserve
I am beginning to think that Root should consider ducking out for a while and concentrating on tests. His contributions in the one day game seem to see him steady early on but then struggling to up the pace and getting out.

Hales played a nice sensible innings yet and made sure he was there at the end. When Stokes comes back, I am not convinced you really need Root in there.
