Yes Lawrence deserved

Lawrance 5 hundred with 788 runs this season plus he is handy as spinner job.

Cox suppose to be in eng team but his injury Benefits Bethell so now Cox deserved to returns under new captain and Coach ( NZ - Flemming). Ollie Pope back so Lawrence might bat at # 6 ( Ben stokes bats there )

Sam Cook one test wonder & M. Fisher 6 wkts in couple of test but i think too many Seamer with Sam curran also picked besides Tongue, Robinson ( back after long time ) Carse, Atkinson & Archer

Above eng team for 1st two test

Carse 58 test wickets & Olie Robinson 80 odd wickets in 21 test

Pakistani bowlers are fresh but they are good seamer in english condition.
