England to play Broad, Anderson and Woakes (and Leach and Stokes) under the lights?
And then Stone and Archer for the 4th test?
Maybe, although seems unlikely. Doesn't sound like they know quite what team they are picking just yet.

Could very well be. But I'm thinking Archer will play and Stone to return for 4th test

Journos seem to think Anderson/Archer/Woakes as the attack with Broad 'rested'.

Root the captain really is **** on too much. Bloke is tied for most test wins as captain ever for England in an era that England have been notorious for batting collapses and being 30/3. Aside from overusing archer when he first came in and occasionally being to defensive with his fields he's been a perfect captain, and will retire as one of England's best cricketers.

So knowing our lot we will drop Foakes and Bairstow will keep and bat at 3.

Don't even joke about that, especially if Woakes plays.

Whatever it takes!!!
I would suggest they should play Broad but England value runs at #8 and 9 sometimes even more than wickets and of course, we may get Stokes, Foakes and Woakes finally.

Anderson/Broad/Archer/Leach + Stokes is probably the strongest attack England can put out, but if they want to continue with the rotation policy and rest Broad then Woakes has to play.
I reckon India drop Kuldeep and Siraj for Umesh and Bumrah. Batting remains unchanged, and I think they'll persist with Axar because they're expecting the pitch to take some turn at some point during the game.
England's batting lineup will be interesting to see.

If India lose any of the remaining two then Australia go through, if England win both think they qualify, otherwise India go through.

If India win or draw here, England are out. Then the next game becomes a bit of a decider.

Pretty much India has to win this one then to go through to the finals.
If it wasn't a day night game I guess India in the current form would likely win but I think with pink ball its anyone's game.

Bit sad we don't get to see Woakes. Waste of a tour for him.
