Right decision in my opinion.
Very rare to see wholesale changes between tests, especially after we one the first one.

Bell is vastly experienced and in a very inexperienced batting line up we need him at the moment.
He's a class act, just a rough patch of form.

Part of the problem is that no-one apart from Bairstow is making a case for inclusion at the moment.
Bell is a quality player on a bad run. If he gets dropped now then there is probably no way back. Ballance can get himself back by racking up the runs in the county game again.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Australia 136 all out, now can our batsmen remember how to bat properly.
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.

Have England got this test wrapped up now then? Only second day and Australia are almost all out in the second innings. Talk about self destruct
