If England don't stick with Rashid we might hear of his retirement from test cricket...

Or that he doesnt feel supported and is off to play for Ireland

It seems to me that the selectors see a leg spinner as a key component of being able to turn around England's dismal away record in tests, and rightly so in my view.  It is difficult to say whether England got selection wrong in picking two spinners as we won't get the chance to bowl on a day 4 or 5 surface due to an awful 1st innings batting performance, but given the way the surface has dried out by the end of day 3, I don't think they got that aspect of selection wrong.  Given the options in the squad, it is only Broad coming in for Curran that I feel would have made a difference to the bowling.

As an aside, I never understood why Plunkett was disregarded for test selection, he is England's best bowler for bang it in to the surface conditions.  He won't be as effective at home in pitch it up conditions, but he provides something you need for certain parts of the world

Two first class games in two years? Pulled up in both of them? That Liam Plunkett?

Great! Can we drop him before the end of this game?

This is our longest opening partnership in 24 tests. Jesus, that's awful.

If we bat the full two days with no delays we’ll win this.

He always remembers to call his mother?

When I'm coaching, he makes a great example of what not to do?

He showed application today, for that.. fair play fella it’s wxacrly what you should be doing every single bloody test match.

However, that’s another Nick off to his very well known technical fault to pace.. sadly, it’s time to sack him off a he has had long enough to fix it and hasn’t.

Trouble is.. there literally is no one else !!

Still. Keep fighting, face 150+ balls burns and Bairstow .. at least out edfort in
