I'm quite a fan of Bairstow but I do think Taylor is a better all-round batsman. He's more capable of building an innings, is technically better with a sounder defence and is much more the type of play I'd want coming in at 50/4.

Interesting side point, Bell averages 21 in 16 innings at home to Australia, not doubting his overall ability as a batsman but I think he's been lucky to not have his place questioned on current form either.

Never been a fan of Bell. Despite his stats I think he goes missing at the big moments or in the big matches. Flat track bully
 
Massive, massive, massive. Jimmy gets one to shape about half an inch and gets the edge.

With Broad still looking knacked this is a huge session for England.

And Swanny joins the party. 8-)
