This is awful!I hope the openers have kept their pads on as they could be batting again by tea.
This is awful!
What's the weather forecast?
I agree, he’s still higher in my list than Jos Buttler. Complete waste of space with the red ballI've stated pretty loudly in the past that I don't think YJB should be anywhere near the test team anymore, but today, fair fucks to the bloke.
After the blow he took on the thumb, that is a very impressive knock.
Buttler didnt seem too happy for Bairstow getting his ton. Hopefully the writing is on the wall for him. If they stay with a keeper/batsman then it should be Bairstow or if its a keeper the Foakes needs to come inI agree, he’s still higher in my list than Jos Buttler.

I think I read somewhere that Bairstow averages 5 when the ball is bowled on the stumps. I’ve given up on calling up Foakes - best wicket keeper by a mile but apparently even Billings is ahead of himButtler didnt seem too happy for Bairstow getting his ton.

It's such a shame that Morgan's back doesn't last 5 days, otherwise I'd have him as Test captain too. Not like his batting's worse that the current middle order!Yeah, bit of a wry smile. I’m a massive Buttler fan but looks like he might be better focussing on white ball. Guess he’ll be captain after Morgan as well.
Looking at our paucity of batters I’d probably say Bairstow to focus on batting at 5 and Folkes in as wk. Tail looked horrifically long today but fair play to Woody, he can hit a ball !
Also fair play to some of you lot staying up/watching it !!! Impressed. It’s been painful enough flicking through the replay first thing to catch up

It is a miracle, we managed to bat out 102 overs to save the match.

Who knew that time out in the middle improves batsmen! Maybe with a few proper warm up matches over there we'd do better in the first few Tests
Yeah, we were on a loser from the start really. Just look at first test match drops. Poor team selections and some awful shots then compounded problems !
Bit of pride restored at least but need to somehow nick something out of last match….not easy looking at injury list. I hope out of those Bairstows fully fit. He looked good last winter before being sent home as part of rotation policy, would be a shame if he heads home when confidence should be high. Obviously need stokes fit for balance and also getting back in form but theres no way he will be be bowling and his place is assured, Bairstow needs to cement his
It's a poor situation when hanging on for a draw (when a series is already lost) is celebrated by the cricket media.The commentators talking about calling up players like Adam Lyth and Sam Robson next summer made me shudder. But the good news is they will have Curran back as we have missed his 26 slogged runs and 1for 125 bowling
this is just a poor justification of the current selection, Foakes is the best keeper in the country, Archer would have made a difference. That spell to Smith in 2019 was brutal, imagine him on Aussie pitches.
Chris Woakes is the only England player to reach double figures in every innings this series.
