Be interesting to see how that works out.

Especially given he'll be walking out before half-eleven.

I jest, I think, though it's hard to know how England are going to play these days. Bring back Chris Tavare, that's what I say.

Happy to see Woakes and Wood back in the side, I think they've both got something to offer depending on conditions. You might want screenshot this though, as I reserve the right to delete this post at any point before day three.

Happy to see Woakes back in. Still prefer him to Robinson, so would've had him for both tests already, and Wood being fit is a major boost too. Fingers crossed we can use him in all 3 tests left.

Fell sorry for Tongue. Was arguably the pick of the bowlers last week, yet is dropped

Disappointed to see Tongue dropped, thought he had that little something about him. Good to see someone had courage to take Jimmy out, legend but his time is done against the very best. Ali not sure. Has been one of my favourites but underwhelming of late

Mo is back in as another bowler and the tail is really long

Wood sending missiles down with his first over.

91, 93, 95, 95, 94, 93.

The ball for the Khawaja wicket was a peach. We've missed the pace!

Not good enough by Bairstow. Inside edge miss fair enough but that’s poor

If he’d had dropped that smith dolly I’d have driven up to headingley and carried him off the pitch myself

Woakes a good team player there if that had been Broad he would have claimed it was crashing into middle.

Bairstow is a liability this series. This innings largely decides the Ashes

So frustrating. We’ve done the hard work again and then just give them chance after chance. As Nasser said at the end of the Lords test, we need to be more ruthless…yet same story

And it must be heaven as a top class batsman to face Robinson bowling club cricket gifts
