No clouds no party my ass!Wow what a new ball spell from Anderson!
England right back in this!
No follow on?
I feel for Curran he’s not an opener (yet) a yard or 2 more of pace and Ryan Sidebottom (the English not Aussie one) swing and he may be do a job he should be 3rd or 4th seamer, he deserves his place on the back of his performances so far, the error was playing Rashid (I’d still have Leach ahead of him imo as 2nd choice) but the batting is the fragile area yet again.
Jennings unable to face pace, shock! There should be no shame in England saying in the cub continent you play, anywhere else you don’t.
Also Foakes should be at 7 Ali 8.
This line up could easily smash 400-4 in a day or be 77 all out think it’s the risk England will have to take for the foreseeable future.
But they need an opener ASAP.
Woakes injuries stopping him from building a run in the side.If it is about strengthening the batting then you leave out Broad but if you want to do it while keeping the bowling side strong you pick Woakes as he is better with the ball than Curran and about par with the bat.
People been saying this for years.One of the reasons that teams keep losing when touring is poor preparation you need to play more games than a bat all day game

Improving his pace whilst looking a more than decent bat.
Need to stop worrying about strengthening lower order and sort out openers.
Road to nowhere when you're picking bowlers because they might get some runs at 8 or 9 rather than how many wickets they might take.
Could woakes do any worse as an opener? At least you'd have his bowling ability on top.
didn't realize they had turned down the chance for a proper 4 day warm-up game !!!One of the reasons that teams keep losing when touring is poor preparation you need to play more games than a bat all day game

Yeah, I'm with you.I still have a feeling that we could knock the runs off 2nd innings. It will slow down and flatten out a bit more. If we can get them out cheaply today we'll have plenty of time to get the runs.
