Leach isn’t a top class test spinner, but he’s not done badly so far, so I’d have him in for this test.

However, England appear to be treating series against the first and second ranked test sides as trials for a series against the fourth ranked side - they’re obsessed by the Ashes and so we’re seeing bowlers not suited to early season English wickets playing because they have the sort of pace that might prove handy in the winter.
