Do both Bell and Thomas play in this one?  Who is the goal keeper?  I still think Paulsen has the better X factor between him and Crocombe.  Also has more recent match fitness although he did miss the last match in Poland
Bell yes, Thomas no - that's what was reported earlier this week. Thomas is being rested for both warm up games but Bell would be used in the England game.
