No when he batted for England at 4 in 2018 that was the highest he'd ever batted
Don't believe he's batted 4 since.

They need to find one then. Malan is the obvious choice, to be honest Denly wasn’t the worst

Classy shot that like good player is Rohit need him early
Yeah would not be opposed to giving Malan a go

Assuming Burns is safe for now at 1, who are the contenders for 2 and 3?
Leading contenders in the CC off the top of my head:
Openers: Lees, Jennings, Libby, Lyth, Stoneman, DBD
Number 3s: Crawley, Abell, Bracey, Malan, Hain, Northeast, Haynes, Ballance
Most of these have all either been tried or were well behind the current incumbents when they were all playing in the CC.
So when do the wickets start tumbling?

Tbf India had 3 umpires calls in one over go against them yesterday. Umpires recently just seem determined not to give LBW unless it's absolutely blatant.

aye nobody standing out there
Hameed will get a run as opener this series in my view
I’d have malan at 3 however if they believe in Pope then give him ago st 3
he doesn’t score enough runs in the middle order so that’s his way in
root, stokes, bairstow, buttler, Ali is my 4 to 8 in England from now on. Wouldn’t play Ali as the spinner in Australia but that’s fine.
for me keep trying people in top 3 till someone sticks. Don’t mess with the other parts, it’s what we did previously and it cost us
not a great start today mind

That’s pace!!!
no
but we have better in the middle order
is it not worth ago if he’s as talented as they make on?
I don’t know the answer like just a suggestion

Good captaincy to bring Wood on

At the moment we have nothing to lose and potentially a lot to gain playing him at 2-3
think for me root should play 3 best batsman in at 3 then add someone in at 4 leaving 2 up for grabs also
