The formalities were completed, and now New Zealand head into the World Test Championship final on a winning note. But which of their many bowling options will each team choose? Bumrah, Ishant, Shami, Ashwin, Jadeja, Siraj are all top-class for India. Boult, Southee, Wagner, Jamieson, Henry are the same for New Zealand, but space for a spinner is also required, and Ajaz Patel may have gone past Santner. So many options, so little time, as England try to make sense of such a comprehensive defeat.
