I'm not the biggest fan of Cook's captaincy, but other than picking a different team not a lot else he can do here is there?

Has a pretty decent spinner last I heard

Time to get Kerrigan on, one of his pies might induce a **** shot from Smith.

Indeed.

Think he'll be coming on next change for Anderson anyway; seems to be warming up in the field.

To be fair, Trott bowling probably makes more sense when you've picked two spinners.

We're getting Smith through the 90s so Clarke declares.

Nah, not when they've arguably compromised their batting to prevent having to bowl him. The whole point of Woakes playing was so that Trott didn't have to bowl if Kerrigan had a meltdown and we needed more seam options.

I often wonder if Trott was a quicker bowler in his youth. When I first heard of the guy, way back before he made his international debut, I was told he was a "batting allrounder". He seems to vaguely know what he's doing too and actually has some pretty useful First Class and List A figures - mostly accumulated when he was younger - so I do wonder whether he was more a mid to high 120s type bowler when he was younger, or if he was just an young-Ian-Bell type who was accurate and swung it both ways at pretty much this pace.
