No problem Stokes batting at six ...as long as (a) Bairstow bats seven with the gloves ..and (b)The top five bats are fit for purpose.
Getting the latter bit right seems to be the problem. Not helped by "wildcard" selections like Buttler at seven...
At least we see another (rather young) new man in Pope next up : let us hope he can put down a marker .
