Oh dear.Our top order woes continue.

Gave that in real time. Looked very out.
I'd make a world class international umpire but don't really like working weekends or too much travelling.
But if they ever need someone to do Thursday and Friday and fifth days (uk only) I'm available.

Are you Peter Willey?

Oh dear.Our top order woes continue.

 too be fair to stoneman that was a cracking delivery!

[GoodLeave]

Next test, I vote we pick Cook twice.

[ppccopener]

Can't see it but BBC txt says stoneman did get a good one
Cook still to be batting at midnight in the moonlight

That's a song I think 

[justnotcricket86]

Stoneman's was pretty sharp

[six and out]

For me Westleys dismissal is far worse. He really shouldn't be missing that, it didn't do much and is a strength area for him.

Next test, I vote we pick Cook twice.

If we do that wont that make cook susceptible to the curse? currently hes the only one immune dont risk it!

[ppccopener]

Can't remember a test recently when cook and root, one or the other, did not get the runs for us!

[petehosk]

Blimey! One decent swinging ball at decent pace and perfect length which got Stoneman and it sounds like he is already being written off?
Give him a bit of time to see how he goes!

[GoodLeave]

Tell you what though. How much do I love getting home from work to find there's still 4 hours of cricket left!

Is that root going to 50 in 11 consecutive games?

[Seniorplayer]

Well - actually Woakes doesn't feel that he has had enough bowling under his belt so will not play according to Root.

So Cook, Stoneman, Westley, Root, Malan, Stokes, Bairstow, Ali, TRJ, Broad, Anderson.

Unless there's fitness issues
You would think against this  windies team it would be a great opportunity for big runs and wickets and   players  would be chomping at the bit to play.

[Seniorplayer]

Is that root going to 50 in 11 consecutive games?

Yep he needs 12 to equal the  record
