Um...
Cook , Hales , Root , ? , Stokes , Bairstow , Ali , Woakes , Rashid , Broad , Anderson .
Or
Cook , Hales , Root , ? , ? , Stokes , Bairstow,  Ali , Woakes , Broad , Anderson
Or
Cook , Hales , Root , ? , ? , Stokes , Bairstow , Woakes , Rashid , Broad , Anderson
Or
Cook, Hales , Root , ? , Stokes , Bairstow,  Woakes , Rashid , Broad , Ball (/Wood when bowled enough overs) , Anderson
Or ?
I keep hearing Borthwick , Bell , and not much else in terms of alternatives to Vince and Ballance . What other candidates are out there ? Please inform me . One thing I  keep thinking is ' England need to decide whether Ali is one of the top six batsmen or not , because it's becoming more evident that he surely isn't the number one spinner / one of the top four bowlers'. I watch him and think it would be great to have him in a test team , but his batting would have to warrant selection and his bowling considered an added bonus when required.
The other thing I  keep thinking is that I can't wait for Pakistan to get out here to Oz for the tests this coming summer . They will be tough .

Yes I do realise this would never happen, however he is one of the top scorers in the county championship this season and gets quite a few wickets with his left arm twirlers!

Morning all.

The way this match is going, we may see Misbah back out to bat at some point. Would love to see him get another 100 so we get another look at that celebration!

If anyone is lucky enough to score a ton today, pictures of you "Doing the Misbah" would be awesome.

What is Younus playing at here?

Looks like he's trying to out-Steve-Smith, Steve Smith!

Certainly doesn't look pretty...

He may as well play on one leg, ha.

Have to say at least this is the test I'd hope we'd get, very nicely poised test match

I am kinda liking the brutal umpiring - out for the slightest excuse.

Agreed. I can't believe we don't trust the tech. If the tech is that good, if it says it clipping the stump, then why are we so skeptical?

I wouldn't be upset if I was given out and reviews showed it would have clipped.

In other news, Who is this "Woakes" fella, and where has he been the last few years?

Shafiq looks a very good player. Good defence and brilliant driver of the ball.
