Still think England need to learn the lessons of last summer and not pick inexperienced International not in form it didn't work with Vince who aside from one hundred didn't have any form for Hants, It didn't work with Ballance and it didn't work with Compton either. So for me Hameed is running out of chances to be there for the first test
