First thing I'd do is take the gloves of Bairstow and move him up to 4. Foakes in as w/k and Denly dropped.

Bairstow isn't in form but at least he has a proven record in Test cricket - his work behind the stumps has been average in this match too so two birds with one stone.

The management probably don’t want to do that in case Bairstow spits his dummy out again at losing the gloves.
 
Given our record at Lords vs Aussies I think that’s the Ashes tbh. We’re not going to win 3 in a row, barring Archer being Glen McGrath Mark 2. Just hope we can make it close enough to be interesting.

Nothing has gone in our favour from day one, The balls arnt swinging, the pitch is flat as fuck, giving no aid to our seamers. Add Andersons injury to that and it's been a disaterous first test. Plus Roots naivety as captain adds to our woes, the way he set fields to Smith were scandalous, it just signalled to Smith that we had no idea how to get him out.
 
No doubt we will hear that the Anderson injury cost us, fair enough it wasnt ideal, but the aussies came into this game with only 3 quicks
