#2 Both openers from England stay
This series has been difficult for openers in general but the pair of Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings have found it more difficult than their counterparts. England has struggled to find a permanent opening partner for Cook but off late his form has also taken a slump, which has made many believe that the opening combination will certainly change in the coming Test match.
But this may not be the case this time around as it looks it England may look to continue with them for the remainder of the series. Cook is among the greatest batsman to play this format and England do not want to miss out on his rich vein of experience. With James Vince making a comeback into the squad if Jonny Bairstow misses out for fracturing his finger, it looks like Jennings spot is secured for now.
