How does Edgbadton play?

How much game time does Jordan have from domestic cricket, snd fitness?

What is the current position on Shamar's fitness. He seems short of preparation/work coming into the series.

In reply to Onionman0

The whole bench should play. What is the "value" in Holder playing? Same for Alzarri and Braithwaite.
He cannot move his feet so will he suddenly be agile in the wicket or Alzarri suddenly know where the off stump is?

These are the bowling stats after the second test for the series, so far:

BOWLING:

J.Seales 10 wkts @ 26, bb 4/77
A.Joseph 6 wkts @ 51, bb 3/98
K.Sinclair 3 wkts @ 50, bb 2/73
J.Holder 3 wkts @ 57, bb 2/58
G.Motie 2 wkts @ 20, bb 2/41
K.Hodge 2 wkts @ 22, bb 2/44
S.Joseph 2 wkts @ 93, bb 1/44

Jayden Seales should most certainly NOT be dropped. Shamar is reportedly very doubtful due to having contracted the illness that ruled Gudakesh Motie out of the second test, so he may well be ruled out with Jordan in line for a test debut (source cricinfo website)
