England go into todays’s 2nd Test against Pakistan at Headingley, with Mark Stoneman out, and Keaton Jennings in<\/strong><\/a>. That is one definite change, with Chris Woakes possibly in line for a recall, and Ben Stokes is also struggling with an injury.<\/p>\n

England’s main problem would seem to be a lack of form, and the subsequent confidence crisis that ultimately will follow such a dismal run in form. <\/p>\n

Such is England’s form of late, it seems to be a massive leap of faith for any punters wishing to back England at odds of 4\/7 with Betfair. The draw is 4\/1, with Pakistan at 16\/5<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n

England can still win this series, and a win for Joe Root’s side wouldn’t be a massive shock, after all they do have a fairly decent home record over the past few years. It’s just, can you trust them at such a short price?<\/p>\n

The possible recall of Woakes in English condition – where he has an outstanding record – will no doubt strengthen England and increase their chances of finishing the two match series on level terms, but will it help England build a side capable of winning outside of England (an area where Woakes has a poor record)? Probably not.<\/p>\n

The captain is looking for a response in the second Test.<\/p>\n
