Best XI for me:

Cook
Hales
Root
Moeen
Bairstow
Stokes
Buttler
Woakes
Broad
Rashid
Anderson

I know Bairstow has improved his keeping but he's a top class batter now and I'd rather have Jos down the order than Vince or Ballance higher up.

Moeen is a class batsman too and needs not to be our first choice spin option.

This is a really well balanced side and the batting is far stronger with good pace options and proper spin.
