Broad or Bresnan for Lord's?

Broad is both the player in possession and something of a golden boy of the selectors. The observations of all the men who matter – embracing the coach, Andy Flower, the chairman of selectors, Geoff Miller, and the captain, Andrew Strauss – indicate that they are prepared to back him to regain an ability to take wickets. Bresnan, one of the heroes of the Ashes, has impressed in England's one-day team since his return from injury, though he was erratic for Yorkshire last week. To pick him now would be to give him the first two, probably three, matches in the series.
