    I've had an idea. Since there are clearly no opening batsmen in Her Majesty's kingdom

    Why do we not simply not bother with openers at all? Let's open with Bairstow and Root and then bring in Archer and Rashid to bolster the bowling?

    Having said that, they appear to be playing this on a pitch that looks rather like my front lawn. Are there generous amounts of seam movement on offer?

    Surely we can pay Cook to play for a while longer? Every man has his price...

    Great quote this morning - England are the only side more likely to get 400 in an ODI than a Test. Could probably say the same for 200 and a 2020 now
