I'd play Burns on his home ground for his debut over Jennings and the same team. England can't bat so we may as well pad out the lower order, and Ali is so much better when he's not the number one spinner (even if he is really).
Its gone a bit silly with the Moeen situation now, you cant carry and extra spinner in your team in UK conditions because it makes another person more comfortable. The captain clearly is not keen bowling Rashid. Might as well say Root is your number 1 spinner in these circumstances, drop Rashid and bring in a specialist number 3.
