I certainly wouldn't be against him being rested, would rather Ansari come in for Batty though, who is predictably a waste of space. In the end Broads work-load not going to be huge in this match.
This pitch is surprising me a lot, I really don't think it's a typical S-C one at all, it has a reasonable amount of pace to it, not huge, but certainly enough to make the spin much more dangerous a lot of balls fizzing off the turf.
