Jack Leach withdrawn from Test match and a concussion replacement will be announced shortly. Parkinson?
From a fall in the field? I just googled him and he had a freak accident at home, where he fainted and hit his head, left him with a fractured skull and concussion which ruled him out of much of the 2015 campaign. So he may be being treated with even more caution?

They said that he was showing signs of concussion. They asked him what the score and he said it was 12-4 at which point they decided he clearly wasn't right.
Think @Leuth might be pleased about that. Not that he's likely to get a bowl in the near future!
I would have picked Parkinson in the first place but at 30 odd for 6 I might have been tempted by Bess as in theory a like for like but as a specialist batsman. I don't think Parkinson will be called on to do much bowling.

Saggers although he actually came through Durham's system so add him to your list.
I didn't know where to put Saggers for the reason you suggest because Durham produced him in his informative years but he made his England debut while at Kent. Conversely, one could tentatively argue that Ollie Robinson was produced by Kent as he was part of their academy but he went to Yorkshire before making his England debut while at Sussex. So I ended up putting neither on there and just included those that came through and were still at the county when they made their England debut.

Couldn't of come at a better time what with the amount of injuries our fast bowlers have.
