Depends on Bairstow on how he responds on return from injury. Tough to just to pick up where he left off. Definitely would be keeping Foakes. Robinson and Brooke have to play as well. Archer and Stokes would be a risk as both are under injury clouds (of course Stokes plays regardless of whether he can bowl). Broad and Anderson to rotate, I reckon. Not too fussed if Leach plays or not.
