England are chasing the series after losing to Pakistan at Lords, so what changes will they make for the second Test? Ahead of the action - which gets underway from 10am on Sky Sports 2 on Friday - we checked in with our pundits and asked them to pick their XIs. Derrick Willies Jersey .England could make at least two changes, with James Anderson and Ben Stokes both proving their fitness in the County Championship. Lancashire director of cricket Ashley Giles says James Anderson is raring to go for Englands second Test It follows reports that Englands head coach Trevor Bayliss was unhappy with the decision to leave Anderson out of the squad for the first Test. Bearing in mind that no-one as yet has looked at the pitch - and assuming Anderson and Stokes are fit - here are the Sky Sports pundits selections...Nasser Hussains XI: Cook, Hales, Root, Vince, Ballance, Bairstow, Stokes, Moeen Ali, Woakes, Broad, Anderson.Nas says: Steven Finn and Jake Ball go out, with James Anderson and Ben Stokes back. Id have Adil Rashid in the squad just in case its a raging bunsen, which it can be at Old Trafford. Moeen Ali is bowled for a second-ball duck by Yasir Shah Moeen Alis place is under the greatest threat but it would be a little harsh to leave him out after getting 150 two Tests ago. You have to decide who is your best spinner in the conditions, factoring in the rough created outside off-stump by Pakistans left-armers.David Lloyds XI: Cook, Hales, Root, Vince, Ballance, Bairstow, Stokes, Woakes, Rashid, Broad, Anderson.Bumble says: Anderson is a very, very experienced player and if he says hes fit, Id go with him - I think hes sensible enough to say I dont think I can get through or Ill be fine, so hes in along with Stokes. Theyre a given, and Ball and Finn have to give way. Jake Ball could be out after just one Test England need a spinner to take the ball away from right-handers, so Id go with Rashid over Moeen. I say that having not seen the pitch, though, so England could decide to play two spinners.Bob Willis XI: Cook, Hales, Root, Bell, Ballance, Bairstow, Stokes, Rashid, Woakes, Broad, Anderson.Bob says: Weve got too many players - Hales, Vince, Stokes, Ali, Broad - who bat like they are millionaires and Roots joined the club recently, so we need a level head in there and someone who can play spin, because Yasir Shah is probably the best leg-spinner since Shane Warne and hes going to be the key to this series. Ian Bell hits out against Yorkshire in Dubai England have got to find a way to play against him and I dont believe - out of the other batsmen that Ive seen - that anybody is as well-equipped as Bell to do that job. I would have picked him but the selectors havent gone down that road - its safety first, and Anderson and Stokes will come in for Finn and Ball.Rob Keys XI: Cook, Hales, Root, Vince, Ballance, Stokes, Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Woakes, Broad, Anderson.Rob says: Anderson comes back in if he says hes fit, youve got to go with him. Woakes has been outstanding for the last few Tests, and took 11 wickets at Lords, so he has to keep his place - that means its a pretty easy conversation to have with both Finn and Ball, although its unfortunate for them. Should Ben Stokes go back up to six in the batting order? They could have brought Stokes in for a batsman and played an extra bowler, but now theyve gone with Vince and Ballance, theyve got to give them a good run of games. I would put Stokes back in at six though, despite Bairstow playing well there - the more responsibility Stokes has had in the past, the more return England have got.Nick Knights XI: Cook, Hales, Root, Vince, Ballance, Stokes, Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Woakes, Broad, Anderson.Ive got Stokes and Anderson coming back in for Ball and Finn. Now theyve got some game time behind them with their counties, they naturally demand a place in the team. Will Moeen Ali keep his spot as Englands spinner? Id stick with Moeen as the spinner over Rashid. With Pakistans left-armers creating rough, I would want that off-spin option.Watch day one of the second Test between England and Pakistan live on Sky Sports 2 from 10am on Friday.

By releasing Bailey, the Broncos would open up cap space with the 12-time Pro Bowl player scheduled to make around $10 million next season. Jarvis Landry Jersey . -- Kansas City Royals right-hander Luke Hochevar will have Tommy John surgery that will sideline the pitcher for the season. http://www.cheapbrownsjerseysonline.com/?tag=terrance-mitchell-jersey-online . It was my fifth straight year attending and, as always, there are many interesting matters discussed as it pertains to the use of statistics in sports.KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Royals agreed to a $32 million, four-year contract with left-hander Jason Vargas on Thursday, trying to fill the void in their rotation created by Ervin Santanas free agency. Vargas was 9-8 with a 4.02 ERA in 24 starts for the Angels last season. He was 6-4 with a 3.65 ERA before going on the disabled list with a blood clot in his arm that required surgery. Kansas City was searching for a veteran to replace Santana, another former Angels pitcher who rediscovered himself in Kansas City. Santana went 9-10 with a 3.24 ERA last season, driving up his price in free agency to the point where the Royals are unlikely to sign him. "Our medical team felt very comfortable, our scouting judgment was very sound, with the length of the contract as well. It all kind of lined up together," general manager Dayton Moore said. "We felt very confident and secure in making him a Royal." Vargas, a soft-tossing lefty who turns 31 in February, gets $7 million next season, $8.5 million in each of the following two years and $8 million in 2017. He had shown a propensity for giving up home runs, but that should be mitigated by cavernous Kauffman Stadium. That was the case with Santana, who also allowed homers by the bushel in Los Angeles before getting things under control in Kansas City. "The biggest thing for me was being in a place where I knew I would be at for a significant amount of time, and with an organization where I felt comfortable," Vargas said, "and I believed in what theyre doing and continuing to get better, and Kansas City was definitely at the top of that list going into the off-season." Vargas will be joining a club that finished 86-76 last season, its best finish since 1989, and was in contention for a playoff berth until the final weeks of the season. "What excited me about the team is how Ive seen the team grow and progress a lot over the last four or five years," Vargas said. "Their defence is spectacular and Im just hoping I can be a piece of the puzzle that helps move us forward." The Royals designated catcher George Kottaras for assignment to makke room on the 40-man roster. Carlos Hyde Jersey. Vargas isnt the sort of splashy signing that will make Royals fans salivate, but he does solidify the back end of whats expected to be a young rotation. James Shields returns next season as their clear-cut ace and Jeremy Guthrie provides a dependable No. 2 starter. Danny Duffy is a near-lock to make the rotation out of spring training after he worked his way back from Tommy John surgery this past season, leaving one more spot in the rotation up for grabs among a handful of in-house candidates. Among those would could land the fifth spot are Wade Davis, Luke Hochevar and Will Smith -- all former starters who spent time last season in the bullpen -- and hard-throwing right-hander Yordano Ventura, who made his big league debut last season and dazzled in three September starts. Most people within the organization believe that Ventura will be in the rotation at some point next season, even if he doesnt earn a spot in spring training. Theres also a chance that Kyle Zimmer, their former first-round pick, will be ready at some point next season. Zimmer finished last season at Double-A Northwest Arkansas. "Theres still ways we can improve our team, through the rotation, trying to add another bat, we feel like we have some quality young pitchers who are going to be competing for spots," Moore said. "Theres still a lot of opportunity out there to improve our starting pitching." Vargas, who missed the 2008 season with a torn labrum in his hip, is 51-58 with a 4.30 ERA in parts of eight seasons spent with the Marlins, Mets, Mariners and Angels. His best season came two years ago, when he went 14-11 with a 3.85 ERA in 33 starts for Seattle. If nothing else, Vargas should be able to eat innings. He was limited to 150 by his surgery last season, but went over 200 innings each of his final two seasons with the Mariners. "You try to get 200 innings out of your starters and Jason has been able to do that," Moore said. "Hes been one of the more consistent pitchers in all of baseball over the last few years, and we feel like hes right in the prime of his career."
