Well batted Jennings. Nice debut.


Him and Warner have done well he..... wait that's Cook being aggressive!!!

[billyb]

Don't worry, he's taken his Warner mask off and done something silly.

It looked well and truly on as he charged down the pitch and tried to oil it through midwicket.


Although I'd have expected Warner to be more successful as that's his game, cook got nowhere near it.

Let's wait until we're sure we've got one first, eh? Before we start wondering what we'll do if we've got two?

"England surplus opener problem"? I can't wait!

Have we waited long enough? Lol. We got one in Jennings!!!(he's atleast in good nick currently)

Ha, you all laughed at my Cook to number 3 remarks... I might not end up being a million miles off!
I really, really hope Jennings goes on to get his ton here, he has plenty of time!

Batted newbie, looks a very good player from what I have seen this morning

[ppccopener]

Yes well batted, not much foot movement a bit like tresco style.
Looks a good wicket to bat first on,normally spins a lot later on

[petehosk]

If Jennings does perform well enough then that would be a very nice, but surprising and unexpected problem to have!
But back on the subject of the next Test, I would look at team similar to...

Cook
Jennings
Root
Ali
Bairstow
Stokes
Buttler
Woakes
Rashid
Ball
Anderson

I think it looks a good ballance as fingers crossed that Ball bowls well so that they have a choice when broad is fit again

[billyb]

I'm concerned about Root, I really think he needs a break.

[csnew]

Dropped on 0, he's made the most of it. Then again the pitch is another road. India ruining test cricket again preparing these flat tracks

[ppccopener]

Yes England really needed Root this series,he has been disappointing

[smilley792]

We are fickle.

Are we really turning on root?

Despite that it may be a tour a tad below his normal returns, he is still England's top run scorer in this series!!

That includes a very gutsyl 80 odd, while openeing, due to hameed's injury in a 4th innings rescue a draw attempt
His last inning before this!

[ppccopener]

Dont think anyone is turning on Root,he is a fab player. This is a big series and he has looked in no trouble at all every innings.
Im 100 per cent sure he himself wants to turn starts into hundreds.
The best players set the bar higher than we can imagine.
Its very early for Jennings but when everyone is fit and presume cook stays opening Root could go back to 4
Ali has looked a bit high to me this series, hes very effective lower down

[rickjames]

I am enjoying this

[roco]

which one of hammeed and Jennings could bat 4?

That would potentially give us an option as both have proved they can bat and look the part
