Vince another century at a run a ball and still not out  .

Confused. Am I looking at same game?

I thought Finn got 4 in first inns and Root made 63 in second inns?

Nah your right. Yorkies middlesex was first scorecard i looked at so added an extra wicket in my head for finn by time i posted, And root was meant to say got a 50. But my fat fingers hit 9 instead of 0 to make it look like i was being precise. Which i was not.

Either way my small errors still dont change what they done thag much.





Interesting that gale was dropped for root to play, and root made skipper. England having there say, and grooming root for future leadership?

Finn back in the wickets! 5 for in first innings, and got root in both.


Root and robson failed in the first in if a, but root has made a 59 in the seconds,

To be fair, anyone who struggled to take wickets in the conditions at Lords would have needed shooting.  It was ballooning for Sidey, Brooks and Murtagh!

Gale dropped himself!

Yep it looked spicy on day one. Makes yorkshires second innings scores look even better.

5 wickets for Chris Jordan as well, hopefully it's a shootout between him and Finny for the third seamer behind Jimmy and Broad this summer

SHouldn't be Finn based on what I've seen the last couple of days - still bowls some dangerous balls, but too wild and ragged, and his confidence could go at a moments notice.  WOuld prefer they give him at least until the India series.

agree with this. Finn taking a few county wickets should not get him rushed back into the set up. He needs to produce it for a good half a season at least. Int batsmen will tear him apart.

I think they need to see him back to the form he was displaying in ODIs 18 months ago before giving him a slot - at the moment he is more like the wayward son of the previous Ashes down under (2011) bowling some decent balls in amidst some dreck.

Lewis Gregory with a 5 for in the Somerset game vs Sussex in Sussex's first innings, looks good for 21 year old, plus I hear her can bat a bit. Maybe one for the future.

More Moeen Ali runs on the board

In case anyone cares...

I've said for ages he's wasted as a hit & giggle specialist, get him in the test side

[calcurtis98]

Totally agree with you Buzz, I've seen him play OD games and I'm sure he can convert himself to play test cricket. Before he hit his hundred today he was conservative, wasn't slogging but he was still scoring a lot of runs and hitting many fours all around the ground. Surely, now England have to wake up.

Waking up isn't a strong point...
