It's 3 days (Jul 3-5) but still ridiculousIt's actually kind of nuts that they might only have two days' break between this game and the next.

Australia will be happy with England resting their best bowler for such a crucial testStuart Broad rested after a huge workload, he's also played the Ireland test.
Broad and Robinson actually had the best figures by seamers in the entire game....and Halba thinks England would rest them in a game they cannot afford to lose? If there's a change it should be Wood for Anderson, but I have a feeling they'll stick to these 3. The fitness of Moeen probably decides if Wood plays.Australia will be happy with England resting their best bowler for such a crucial test

i dont see moeen playing especially with the injured finger- needs atleast 2 weeks to healI hope Moeen gets to 200 wickets and 3000 runs. Deserves to be in that exclusive club
Unless someone is injured, I don't think any of the quicks would be rested on fatigue-related grounds. There's a decent gap before Lord's so everyone ought to recover in time.Broad and Robinson actually had the best figures by seamers in the entire game....and Halba thinks England would rest them in a game they cannot afford to lose?

That's a good list, with Flintoff being far the least likely to appear on it.khawaja become 13th player in Test, who batted all 5 days of test.

Probably mark wood for moeen if moeen is unfit , may be the only change then. Root to bowl spin.Unless someone is injured, I don't think any of the quicks would be rested on fatigue-related grounds. There's a decent gap before Lord's so everyone ought to recover in time.
I guess they might think about rotating someone out in the knowledge there's so short a break til the 3rd test, but given the state of the series it will probably be all hands on deck for the second and they'll worry about he third in due course. Will all come down to the pitch and the forecast I suppose.
The current forecast is not that great, suggesting an element of rain on all 5 days. Nothing heavy, but damp, overcast and drizzly. You don't drop Anderson in those conditions.Unless someone is injured, I don't think any of the quicks would be rested on fatigue-related grounds.

Sounds like this might be the weather effected draw which I exclusively predicted ahead of the series.The current forecast is not that great, suggesting an element of rain on all 5 days. Nothing heavy, but damp, overcast and drizzly. You don't drop Anderson in those conditions.
The one thing it does do is perhaps make England's selection easier. They can probably afford to leave out Moeen for Wood.Sounds like this might be the weather effected draw which I exclusively predicted ahead of the series.
Reckon they will bring in Wood for Anderson as the only change if Mo is fit to bowl. If not then Woakes or Tongue with Root and Stokes to "spell" them. Would love to see them choose one of the young spinners, (Raheem, Jacks, Dawson) get a go, but really it all depends on the admin from Stokes and Baz downwards.Possible eng attack for lords
Mark wood( broad rested)
Chris woakes(Robinson rotated)
Josh tongue(replaces Moeen injured)
James Anderson
Joe root- spinner
Stuart Broad rested after a huge workload, he's also played the Ireland test.
Robinson rotated for Woakes
Twice. 2009 and 2013.However, England has only beaten Australia once at Lords since 1934 and we should be favourites here if their bowlers are fit
