Any changes for the 3rd Test

Yes , the title is correct. Is there any obvious players having a drink in the last chance saloon with reference to the current series 🤔
 

I was predicting today that once we are beat we will drop Crawley, possibly for Ben Mack. But for now they will persist. I’d imagine there’s another bowler to break down at some point soon too. So maybe Jofra ends up missing the 3rd test.
 
Last chance for Pope when he inevitably fails in the 2nd innings for me.

Wood ruled himself out, I'm hoping Jacks has a good game with the bat as he's a proper batter.

8 day break probably means the quirks will be fine, though Tongue could be an option to freshen up Archer/Carse or play 5 seamers.

England win the toss and bowl

Aus 653-9d (Head 323*)
Eng 119 & 99 (Cummins 8/23) (Starc 9/21)
Aus win by an innings and 435 runs

England's innings last 39 overs combined

Baz and Stokesy take the positives out of it
 
Crawley - they won't bring an opener in
Duckett - out of form
Smith - they won't move him but he's out of form and you either drop him or move him to focus on batting.
Root
Brook
Stokes
Rew WK - bring him in
Jacks - playing as spinner
Atkinson
Archer
