I forgot about Curran, he'll be in to give the 5th bowling option rather than Foakes in the team I put up. I think Anderson will be rested and Archer if Wood is fit enough to play.

Rest Jimmy, drop Archer, Scrappy Do can fill in for Stokes for these two games, Jos has bought himself another 20 Tests with his battling 70 runs.

I’d go for this. Bess was unlucky last game, but it’s a toss up between him and Leach.

Sadly I don’t see either as being our long term answer

Bess
Broad
Anderson/Wood (if Wood is fit)

Or do we think Bracey might get the nod as a specialist bat?

IMHO it will be:

Burns
Sibley
Crawley
Root*
Pope
Buttler+
Woakes
Curran
Archer
Bess
Broad

Is Bracey even in the squad?
 
Robinson replaces Stokes in only squad change.

England Test squad:

Joe Root (captain), James Anderson, Jofra Archer, Dominic Bess, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler, Zak Crawley, Sam Curran, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Dom Sibley, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.

He is, presumably the only batting cover now that Stokes and Lawrence aren't available. I'm not sure Archer will play but otherwise think it will be that team.

Edit: Or I could have read @hudson88's post :lol: He was definitely in the squad for the series and hasn't played for Glocs so presumably he's just not in the squad for this game.

Top 7 there is basically nailed on. Bowlers where the doubt is, personally would like to see wood in for archer if he’s fit.
