So changes, if any, for next test ?
Personally i would keep it as it is. Tell Gary Ballance it is his last chance. Cannot drop Duckett or Batty after that i don't think. Anyone else thoughts ? |

What changes would you make ? How many ?
I don't think you could make more than 1 change given that we won the match. |

I'd drop Ballance but given how loyal they seem to be to players I expect them to give him another chance in the second test

Problem with modern cricket and changes, with the lack of warm-up matches, a new player would inevitably be undercooked.
I'd change Hameed and Ansari, for Ballance and Rashid though, as both of those guys did okay in the warm-ups. Hameed to open and Duckett at 4. Batty's second innings bowling earns him a reprieve. I might possibly give Hameed a chance to open instead of Duckett, We need to see what he is like before India. |

I'd make a few changes . 4 days in those conditions need to be taken into account with not much gaps between the schedule coming up
Finn, Ball, Ansari and Buttler are better than 'squad players' and would not lower the quality Times have changed with the way schedules are now made up. Rotation is important to prevent injuries As an aside, the cameramen /broadcasting team deserve a big thank you for surviving those conditions

Michael Atherton on the highlights from today on Sky said 'If you're listening in England it's 5 in the morning on a cold November morning'
November? |

Stokes batting average has very nearly overtaken his bowling average so its a sign he's becoming a quality allrounder

![]() A bit of red ink would help his batting average considerably. ![]()

Might not be of KP proportions, but BMac's book containing details of his rift with Ross Taylor wont help team morale much for the Black Caps who are having a difficult time in India

England name an unchanged squad for the India Tests. So, no Hales. Anderson may join later.

NZ looked to be heading for 300+ after the start they had so not sure how good this total really is
this is now a big partnership as the rest of the batting order looks a bit weak |

So Hales jumped before he was pushed. Not only was he deliberating whether to give Bangladesh a miss he also had to decide if to tell the ECB before or after the Banga tour party was named. As now he looks a bit silly by making himself unavailable for a tour he was never going on.

Bit of a kick in the teeth for Hales but its his own doing. Glad to see they have stuck with the guys who put their hands up for Bangladesh. Plus they will be match fit

2 changes for the next test according to reports:
Finn in for Broad and Ansari in for Batty Makes sense to rest Broad and have a look at Ansari. I'm shocked that Ballance survives again. It means that if he fails again we'll probably be putting someone in the team for the first test against India who has had little time batting in test match conditions |
