Think he's safe for at least one more test regardless.
Unless this big hundred from Borrthwick today has convinced the selectors to change for Lords.
Yes. There is an argument for bringing in a newbie against SL rather than wait for the much tougher games against Pakistan.

doubt he would do it since would take another 50-70 test for him.
Scoring another 6K runs is massive amount for him still, especially at a time when bowlers and teams have worked him out and scoring runs for him is far harder than it was say 4-5 years ago.
