3rd ODI - 1pm start

His average will be decent over these 3 games against one of the top teams in the world. His overall ODI average is also superb. He just shouldn't be playing Test matches ever.
I wouldn't dismiss him from test cricket but he needs to play 4 day cricket and work on the flaws he has in the long form of the game. Doing well in T20s and ODIs for England isn't going to help in that regard.

He went through a period as an exceptional number 7, then we decided he should bat 3/4 and it ruined him. We need to start sticking with what works. Having Jonny and Jos 6 and 7 would be exceptional, but it relies on Root batting 3, Pope 4 and stokes 5, so we know it won’t happen.
