I agree Roy should have a chance in the middle order and I'd get Foakes (still can't work out why he was dropped) in for Bairstow - I'd keep Buttler in though and make him captain.
I think Bairstow threw a strop when he lost the gloves.

Bairstow needs to work on his technique as well. Never liked any batsman using that upright stance. Seemed to have caught on in the 80s. Less players using it now but Bairstow who is a good player has been bowled way too often for my liking.

Buttler is a talent and if showing any form would be my choice as captain. But hes not scoring runs.

There needs to be major changes.
