It has been confirmed that Ian Bell will bat at 4 v Australia at Edgebaston.

Paul Collingwood and Matt Prior will not change positions and the only doubt will come if Robert Key is picked ahead of Bopara but that is unlikely.

No news on whats happening in the bowling department.

Yeah, I think I agree with him batting at four - any ideas what our attack will be?

With the track being said to be a bit of a Jelly - will we make the mistake of playing 2 spiners again?

I think they are going to stick with the same bowling attack but the Edgebaston ground staff are saying this is not a seamers pitch.

The only bowling worry England will have is whether or not Freddy will play at Headingly as this is a back to back test match.
