England have named a 14-man squad for the second Test against Pakistan which has led to a perception of uncertainty about their plans. James Anderson and Ben Stokes have recovered from injuries while Adil Rashid has also been included. ESPNcricinfo looks at a few different combinations the selectors could go with as England attempt to level the series.Back to Plan AThis would be the balance of side that England started their Test season with, Stokes returning at No. 6 as one of five bowlers. Chris Woakes stellar season means that he is now a certain starter which forces Steven Finn and Jake Ball out of the side. This also lengthens the batting with Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali each slipping back down a place in the order.Alastair Cook, Alex Hales, Joe Root, James Vince, Gary Ballance, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad, James AndersonEven more bowlingEngland are blessed with their allrounders. So why not make the most of them? There was debate before the first Test whether Stokes could play as a batsman with the consensus that he was good enough, so in this side he replaces one of the middle order - either James Vince or Gary Ballance, the former on this occasion - meaning a quartet of multi-dimensional players from No. 5 to No. 8. Six bowlers (and five quicks, Finn keeping his place ahead of Ball) may seem overloaded, but it would further allow a spread of the workload with two of them, Stokes and Anderson, returning from injury.Alastair Cook, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Gary Ballance, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad, Steven Finn, James AndersonTwin spinThe last time England played two spinners in a home Test was against Australia, at The Oval, in 2013 when Simon Kerrigan made his debut. They returned to a pair of slow bowlers in the UAE, when Rashid partnered Moeen, and Trevor Bayliss has suggested it could be a route they will follow again at Old Trafford. The Manchester pitch is known to encourage spin - both in terms of turn, but significantly bounce as well - and the recent burst of warm weather could further help create a surface that favours spinners. However, it would be a significant risk and could even play into Pakistans hands: in the UAE they effectively blocked out the quicks and then thrashed the spin, although in this side Stokes is again used at No. 5 so there could be four fast bowlers in the XI.Alastair Cook, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Gary Ballance, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad, James AndersonChange of spinnerThis is another spin-related selection, but a straight swap rather than a pairing. Moeen is not being jettisoned purely for that second-innings hoick at Yasir Shah; Pakistans batting order is dominated by right handers so the ball turning away from them, from Rashid, could be more effective than the ball spinning into them from Moeen. Since the start of the year, Moeen is averaging over 90 with the ball so while he continues to have the knack of chipping out wickets (Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq at Lords was a fine pair to remove) he is clearly proving less effective than previously. In this side, the balance is back to five bowlers with Vince and Ballance both retaining places in the middle order.Alastair Cook, Alex Hales, Joe Root, James Vince, Gary Ballance, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Adil Rashid, Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad, James Anderson Ryan Switzer Jersey .

Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Since Day 1 of the Rio games, Olympic fans have been channeling American fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, taking the proverbial foil to media outlets for their disappointing coverage of female athletes.Theres been plenty to critique, beginning with NBC commentator Dan Hicks crediting Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszus husband/trainer as the man responsible for her world-record performance on the opening day of competition. That was just the first in an ever-widening pool of sexist remarks from media all over the globe - a pool as troubling as that mysteriously green diving pool.In print and on television, female athletes have been reduced to their relationships to men, whether it be a coach, a husband or a similarly skilled male athlete. Weve seen their athletic accomplishments glossed over in favor of conversations about their hair, makeup, nail polish or love lives. One Olympic star was even asked if shed rather win a medal or be thinner. For real.Youve likely already heard about a lot of these offenses as the pushback from fans, more woke media members and even some male Olympians has been loud and swift. From The Independent to The Guardian to Mashable to HuffPo, reporters have curated media missteps and resulting reactions, revealing a world that struggles to describe the female athlete in terms befitting her achievements.Lindy West wrote a helpful guide to covering female Olympians in the Guardian last week, imploring media members, Dont bring your sex feelings into it. ... There is not currently a vacuum of serious, well-rounded coverage of mens sports. There is not a historic precedent of mens bodies eclipsing their accomplishments, and, in turn, undermining their credibility and hobbling their upward mobility in every major industry. It is OK to have sex feelings. Just watch where youre spraying them.Former Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, who joined me and advocate Jess Weiner on my Thats What She Said podcast this week, knows about the challenges of being in the Olympic spotlight all too well.Its frustrating for female athletes, she said. I always tell people that as an athlete, especially a female athlete, we want you to critique us. We want you to continue to nitpick and pull us apart, but do it off of our performances and off of our skills, rather than something that has nothing to do with our sports.?A study recently released by the Cambridge University Press analyzed multibillion word databases of written and spoken English language frrom a huge range of media sources and found that while male athletes are usually described in sporting terms, language around women in sport focuses disproportionately on the appearance, clothes and personal lives of women, highlighting a greater emphasis on aesthetics over athletics.ddddddddddddIntentional misogyny is not always at the root of these offenses. Women have long been valued in society first and foremost for their appearance, and media has long portrayed women across all professions and industries through the male gaze. As a result, whether its female scientists or female athletes, it can become almost instinctual to sexualize, regardless of how inappropriate the context. While we can all agree that Olympians are some of the fittest, most attractive people on the planet, their athletic achievements, not their looks, should be the focus of commentary.The fact that sexualizing women is deeply embedded in our society doesnt excuse reporters. Part of the job must be to filter their initial reactions before putting them into words and sharing them. And more and more, fans are taking media to task for their failing filters. No phone calls or letters to the editor these days, a simple tweet (or several thousand) will do.The tweets add up and have already forced some media members and outlets to issue mea culpas within days -- even hours -- of their remarks. While its disappointing to see how widespread the sexist coverage has been, across all sports and countries, the pushback from viewers is a solid start toward correcting behavior.One of the best parts of the Olympics is seeing female athletes given (nearly) equal air time to their male counterparts. Our nation becomes captivated with the athletic achievements of women who have spent their lives pursuing greatness. And while tone-deaf commentary may sometimes sour those moments, the lasting images, moments and memories are of the dominant athletic performances. Young girls grow up with Simone Biles and Katie Ledecky on the front pages and in their social feeds, replacing, even if oh-so-briefly, Hollywood starlets and reality stars.Theres work to be done to give female athletes the respect theyve earned. But the fact that more and more people seem to be aware of the discrepancy in coverage and expect better from the media is a step in the right dire
