As ever my problem with the selection is that I accept reasonable chances should be given to players I have little faith in. But Wood will go and Woakes isn't coming back. I imagine England will slot R-Jones (or Ball) in for Wood and leave it at that. Maybe an Overton or a Curran will come into the squad. They won't rip up the plan with the series at 1-1. Nor should they, but if another change is made, Dawson looks most vulnerable for a better batter or a better spinner.
Cook/Jennings/Ballance/Root/Bairstow/Stokes/Moeen/Dawson/R-Jones/Broad/Anderson.
Ripping up the plan XI:
Cook/B-Drummond/Jennings/Root/Malan/Bairstow/Stokes/Moeen/R-Jones or Rashid/Broad/Anderson.

It isn't needed ; it doesn't work (see India tour as well) and it confers no real advantage...

Sa looks very strong, they don't even have a weak link barring Kuhn.
And he looks like he playing a role like chopra did for a while just waste time and allow the other batsman to score runs with old ball.
Saying that if England selected better they could have won this series.
