Not sure on team selection. Fast bowling line up all bit similar. Would have liked to see Wood play if he was available.

We'll see.Because of Surrey...that's naughty
If we’re going to persist with a succession of butterfingered half wits in catching positions then you have to point the finger at the captainJust the 2 drops in the first hour then...
Still can’t bloody catch though ?Very quiet in here when England bowl well

Root needs some bedtime reading material and serious guidance from his bowlers with regard to the field placements, it’s been a bugbear of mine for ages and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
I'd expect Broad and Anderson to be helping; do they not do so?
That’s the problem. They 'help' too much. The grunts need to be told where and how to bowl and to a plan
The captain needs to assess the situation and reading of the game and apply his tactics accordingly
Obviously no captain always gets it right or has the rub of the green but the good ones get a huge amount more right than wrong even if the outcome doesn’t always end up in the positive
Root imo gets 60+ % of his on field tactics wrong. His decisions are ordinary, at best
I appreciate that there may be things a captain wants that a bowler might not fancy for fear of leaking runs, but with 300 Tests and 1100 wickets between them, Anderson and Broad are grunts who need to be told what to do?
