The alternatives
Anderson - no miles in his legs
Finn - 26 overs since the cc
Ball - 4 overs in the Bangladesh warm up game
Just keep Woakes. Next Test you could bring in Anderson, having more net miles in his legs and on as a sub fielder. Then he is doesn't have back to back Tests and has a rest between 3rd and 4th Test.
As for Woakes knee, Anderson, with a knee injury, played 5 Ashes Tests and 4 Tests in SA, getting cortisone injections before being rested for the Bangladesh Tests.
