England's most successful bowler James Anderson feels he and Stuart Broad should be paired together to lead the bid for a series win in the decisive Test match against the West Indies.
The host are spoilt for choice ahead of Friday's start of the third and final Test at Old Trafford with Anderson, Jofra Archer and Mark Wood all looking to return to the team.
However, Broad, Sam Curran and Chris Woakes all made positive contributions to England's 113-run victory in the second and penultimate Test, which ended Monday.
A schedule of six matches in seven weeks against the Windies and then Pakistan means England have had to rotate their bowlers and Anderson does not underestimate the difficult choices facing coach Chris Silverwood and captain Joe Root.
There have been suggestions that Anderson, who turns 38 next week and has a record 587 wickets for England, and 34-year old Broad will likely not bowl again together but Anderson said he hoped this was not the case.
England's camp is still dealing with aches and pains after the exertions of the second Test, also in Manchester, where they levelled the series after losing the first in Southampton.
