The English settled about late rin that season. Hameed looks a solid type for England, I reckon there's a bit about him and he might make a few today.

The pitch will get better over the day.

Good fightback by England
3/11 could easily have been 6/50 by lunch
To get to 4/59 in those conditions was a decent effort

To get to 222+ they will need Pope or Butler to play a few shots and get an individual score of 75+

Where"s all the English bowlers
No Broad, Jimmmmmmy , and The joff

The attack of Woakes/Robinson/Wood/Leach/Stokes, looks like a change bowler attack
There's no leader, either Broad or Jimmmmmmy should have been selected ?

Agreed. Surely if you're not going to pick Anderson, you pick Broad, if for no other reason than Warner's his bunny. [emoji195]

And I've available for your team as well. If need me to come in and talk a player up and give them the kiss of death from the opposition team then you know where I am lol

Pope & Buttler have steadied the ship, expecting one of the two to get three figures

Buttler commits a cardinal sin against Starc and it's 6/114. Carey takes his second catch and has looked right at home.

7/118 Greens first test wicket and the Pope is gone. Quality catch by Hazlewood.

Turns out it was a flop at the box office.

This "ringing" noise that they do at the start and finish of each replay is freakin annoying

Cummins' game has improved dramatically since taking over the reigns.

Pre-captain he averaged 21.59.
Captaincy he averages 9.

Interestingly though he has never won a toss.
