Would be tempted to bring in Rashid just so he isn't making his debut in UAE. No point rushing Jimmy back, he can put his feet up for the rest of the summer so Rashid for Moeen for this test but tell Moeen he is on the tour and is just rested for this match.
If it is a dustbowl (and given how Stokes has bowled) could give Finn/Wood a rest and go with two spinners. Not sure what the Oval has been like this year, but it seems perpetual that the '2 spinners at the Oval' talk comes around every summer.

Yeah if it that dry then 2 spinners is obvious, be some tail with Rashid at 9.

What is the current tally in terms of runs per wicket?
Edit: Australia 2084/70: 29.77, Eng 1930/61; 31.64.
For batsmen whose name is not Joe Root, its not been the best series for English batsmen either.

122* or 172/1 or 222/2
LegionOfBrad
International Debutant
If he bats once 122* or 172 if he gets out.
Bats twice assuming out both times he needs 222.

Didn't we once have a team with 11 First-class centurions, think it had Richard Illingworth in at 11. Wasn't much cop. Wait a minute here it is.
On changes I'm pretty split on one hand we clearly have a fair few problem positions and this would seem to be a great time to blood some newbies, but #OTOH, it does seem to be throwing away Ashes wins to people who aren't really deserving.
