[Tony C]

Anyone else fancy the 9/1 to pull this off? Worth a tenner imo

Time for coooooool heads imo...and a Joe Root double century

Only Jennings to be fair. As far as I can see his purpose is to eat up some of the new ball. Anything is a bonus.

Can't we put Bairstow in to open with Cook and bring in Buttler?

Bairstow would be a terrible opener. also we would then be looking for another No 5

Bairstow's technique is shocking. His left hand might as well be made of wood for all the control it exerts over his strokeplay.
There really is an alarming dearth of young batting talent coming through. Root, Ali and (to a much lesser extent) Bairstow have sort of masked it, but the cracks are starting to show quite badly. You've got two of the top three who simply are not test class batsmen.

Broad and Anderson can't keep going forever and I think Moeen Ali is our leading wicket taker in this series. I think that - unless something remarkable happens - there are lean times ahead.

Also, what the fúck is Liam Dawson doing in a test team?

[Burney]

Ballance stuck in the crease and out lbw? Surely not?
