As you�d expect from that technique. At least he applied himself which is something buttler and root aren�t doing currently

Agree with both points, but his weakness is also his strength too, good off his pads and driving

Unbelievable scenes Stokes was all the way into the changing rooms! And then gets called back as it's a no ball!!

This is just shambolic all round...

Stokes hits a long hop back to the bowler and thinks he is out C&B.

Stokes walks off and Bairstow comes out to the middle, only for the 3rd umpire to check for a no-ball. It is (why aren't these called in real time any more?). Shock, it is a no ball and the decision is not out.

4th umpire has to go and get Stokes, who goes back to the middle to resume his innings and Bairstow has to go back to the pavilion.

You couldn't make it up... #Village

Is it a coincidence we are now in the best position we have been in all tour with the middle order scoring after one of our openers actually got stuck in and used up some deliveries? Well done Burns, 29 ain't world beating but he did a job.

Root said last week ' it's no good just staying there and not scoring runs' .

That sort of thinking shows why we need a big change in attitude to tests.

To be honest with those ones I can understand it. That's pretty much going to be impossible to call in real time and it's better to stay on the safe side and let the third umpire check if required.

Agreed.. his job is to score runs but also see off balls and get bowlers into their 2/3/4th spells and set up a tiring attack for 4/5/6/7.

Seen about 6 called by the on field umpire today.

It�s a shame burns didn�t go on to get a score. Did all the hard work this morning.

Scored his 29 runs of more balls than both stokes and buttler used to get there fifties.

Is this the first time this series we�ve made the windows use there part timer??

In which case, tell the batsman to wait on the field until the decision is made instead of letting them walk off. Pretty sure I've seen that happen previously.

Why aren't they being looked for every ball then?
The fact they've called them previously arguably makes it worse...

Despite his 8 fer, Roston Chase isn't a front line bowler!

He is playing as there main spinner though. Brathwaite is not.

It�s a sign we have them tired for once.

They used to but it's not exactly needed with the new rules in place now.

No issue at all with Butler applying himself since his return to test cricket, he has shown that he is prepared to grind it out where needed. If anything, the thing he hasn't shown yet is the ability to switch to his more natural game and take the game to the opposition.

The problem with Jennings and Burns isn't that they play too many shots - their strike rates show that. Their problem is that they both have huge technical issues. Applying yourself needs to be allied to the basic technique to survive had this level.

Im a warwickshire fan but i was dead set against the return of Ian Bell. He was always the luxury player and this current setup dont need another one. As said in a bbc sport tweet earlier, �remember when we used to moan about bells pointless hundreds�. At this point we�ve tried everyone, bring him back for 12, 18 months and whack him at 3 until someone steps up.
