Maybe a big ask for him but having Moeen in the lower order where he's had more success might strengthen the batting. It wont happen but it was an interesting proposal.

I'd prefer to see Bell come in at five, and add some experience to our order.

That's a good idea but who then bats a three. It would hardly be fair to Taylor to throw him into the deep end and Root is going so well at four it would be foolish to change that.

Bairstow is the only comparable player who could be dropped, and given the fact he can keep wicket, you can see why Bell's name has been banded around.

Not really when you have a player in the side whose barely troubled the scorers in seven Tests. Ali needs to make a score more than Bell at this point in time.
