Well

Roy’s young and a project, for one thing. They’ve always wanted to turn him into a Test batsman.

But the real reason Roy’s been picked to open (as opposed to middle order) is that we are utterly desperate ...

I’d have left out Burns, put Denley with Roy, bump Buttler, Stokes and Woakes up one each and then have Curran. That way I think we’d get more runs AND have an excellent extra bowling option
