Paul Collingwood has been called up to the squad to give England the option of playing another batsman and some wobbly seam if required. This could be bad for Ashley Giles as it would be unlikely that one of the seamers would be dropped at this stage.
The Collingwood call has to be down to batting only, I am not altogether sure about his technique, not disimilar to a few of the batsman around today I guess, probably a similar problem with Shane Warne through not having played him much but other than that a fairly aggresive move on the part of the England management.
And of course there is his excellent fielding which will not go amiss after the pitiful display at Lords. I am starting to think that the England team were a bit nervous at Lords and will recover some composure at Edgbaston - the missed catches speak volumes. Another good reason to not open a series there!
