When are the QFs as with Moeen back I'd say only pace bowling looks weak currently and could do with the likes of Gleeson or Hasan pushing for spots.

Not till 3-6 September
The Quarter-Finals are in the first week of September, starting on Tuesday 3 September until Friday 6 September (one QF per day).
Finals day Saturday 14 September.
Looking at England's fixtures around the time of the Quarter-Finals, they are scheduled to play Sri Lanka in the 2nd test from 29 August - 2 September and the 3rd test 6 - 10 September. Then they play 3 20/20 games against Australia on 11, 13 & 15 September. If we do make the finals day then hopefully they won't select any of our players for the games against the Aussies!
As far as the tests are concerned, only Woakes is likely to be selected against Sri Lanka. However, if his current form doesn't improve then he might not make the squad at all, meaning he could well be available for the QF.
If his current form doesn't improve, I'm not sure Chris Woakes would make OUR squad.
Quarter finals take place 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th September. Dates and opposition will be known after the final group games on July 19th.
