England boss Shaun Wane faces centre conundrum after naming squad for Greece game
Ryan Hall, Dom Young and Tommy Makinson are battling for two spots in Wane's strongest team for the knockout stages.
Huddersfield Giants academy product Young has scored four tries in two games, while Hull KR veteran Hall marked his return to the side with a double in the win over France.

With Kallum Watkins missing out due to concussion protocols and Herbie Farnworth rested, Wane may find room for all three.
Kai Pearce-Paul and John Bateman are among Wane's other options for the centre spots.
George Williams will captain the side in the absence of the rested Sam Tomkins, who is likely to be replaced by Jack Welsby at full-back.

Michael McIlorum and Elliott Whitehead have also been given the weekend off after appearing in the opening two games.
Pearce-Paul and Joe Batchelor, the only two members of the 24-man squad yet to feature in the tournament, will make their Test debuts at Bramall Lane.
