Bayliss has been more convincing than usual in talking up Rashid's possible inclusion. In this series (until Sunday anyway) Finn hasn't really contributed much, and three seamers have been enough. But I imagine Finn will play.

Would seem a bit harsh dropping finn after the vital role he played in the win

If the india pitches are anything like the south africa series we will need 3 spinners
So Ali, rashid and Ansari I suppose
All are capable with the bat as well
3 spinners would mean no stokes though and we now Bayliss rates stokes very highly (anderson, broad and Woakes are undroppable)
