interesting squad. id have taken Bopara over Ballance. think he has had a better season and is more expereinced as a back up.

onions over rankin (who i still dont beleive should be allowed to play for england after playing for Ireland)

but otherwise happy with that squad. though id say perhaps drop Root back to 6. put Carberry as opener. not sure Root is good enough to open yet. he struggled this series, just let him bat at 6. learn his game then promote him in a year or two.

oh and bresnan is going with the squad for rehab but isnt part of the squad but i assume if he proves his fitness he will play
