We're avin a bat. Debut for Sibley, Pope 6.

Is this a new dawn back to an old style way of playing(which is not so old for the best teams !) .

Bat long, try and get the oppo batting last with a specialist spinner in.

I'm happy, but can we play differently and how many matches does it take to 'change'

Good to see New Balance are carrying on their commitment to making their stickers look worse every year.

Nice shot from Sibley first ball. Looks very well organised indeed.

I thought the pink stickers Burns is using looked quite nice... :-[

Regardless of the stickers, the actual bat looks like an absolute gun. He barely hit those two boundaries.

Bairstow would have tried to drive a straight one, missed it and been bowled through the gate by now. Beautiful leaves by Sibley. I think he’s the real deal.

I must have missed those times where Bairstow opened the batting  ;)

Grr. I meant Roy.

Bairstow would do it lower down the order.

Some pretty tedious punditry going on about Sibley here - thought he just misjudged a good ball and had a bit of a prod at it. Looked good until then though, promising signs. Amazing how leg side play still gets looked down on!

Very encouraging look to this new top order. Burns continued where he left off from the ashes.

Sibley looked organised, knows his method and I give him every chance to be honest, many a great player have gone across their stumps, left it outside off and made the bowler bowl at them and then picked off anything straight.... a certain Mr. Smith does that rather nicely.

I think also Pope did well coming in against the 2nd new ball which was good to see, as that can often happen as a no.6.

On a downside I really wish Root would put that shot away.

A solid first day. Actual test match batting on display! I wonder if the presence of Roy and Bairstow in an and around the team, in the nets etc led to the frenetic batting displays we saw last summer?

Thought Sibley looked good. Slightly different looking technique, but that’s what Gary Palmer coaches, and based on the number of runs he’s churned out in the last year or two, I don’t think anyone can argue that it doesn’t work. He seems to have so much time to play the ball.

Stokes’s bat looked nice.
