Root
Bairstow
Stokes
Buttler (these three in any order)

Archer
Broad
Anderson


Re Woakes in the ODI - don't think Morgan likes to bowl him in the middle overs. Really seen as just a new ball bowler. Could almost bowl him out from the start. Fair enough to bring him back for the tail though
I agree about bringing Woakes back for the tail, but as you say, if he's not going to be used at the death, then keep bowling him if he's only going at 3-4 an over at the start.

We just don't have a test top 3, though, and I don't see how you can hope to win a series without one.
