I’d keep it as it is. Stokes has been brilliant at 5. Long term I’d like to see Pope at 4, but that’s years away

Stokes has been brilliant at 5. But he's a really important bowler for us. We don't need him batting 5 for Aus/India away as we will need his bowling.

He ended up at 5 due to lack of options for us. Pope is clearly an option and looks good enough to bat higher in the future(keep him where he is for now).

Root is number 4 and ain't going anywhere for probably best part of a decade. Maybe even longer.

Stokes is bowling less and less anyway, his body won’t let him bowl what it did

Root is 29, you’re not getting more than a decade man

Hmmmm dunno, he’s fit enough to bowl he just doesn’t get the overs. When he bowls a long spell he gets wickets
 
Need 300 here like, though I think we’ll skittle them out with a lead.
