Not sure what else Jack Leach needs to do to get a mention for England's top order, most proven option we've got

Oh look - a selection of brave 30's!!

Someone in the lower order might have a field day though?  Stokes, Buttler, Currant?

Is Petorius carrying some kind of injury on his right hand?  He seems to have black bandage on.

With Denly’s wicket let the collapse begin 🤬

Sure, but will he get the opportunity or is he going to be out there with 9 to 11 again.

yes good point....with Bess in the team(I think this is a reason we picked him) our tail is better than archer/broad/Anderson.

so we got a little bit more on paper down the order

I actually think from what I have seen of Bess he is a better batsman than bowler...but he has been working on his bowling..

Always had a soft pot for Bell-Drummond - his 2019 stats where similar to Crawley’s

He has had 4/5 seasons as a top order bat and never passed 1000 CC runs, Crawley is a far better bat and has been talked up by Athers, Key and a few other top order batters for some time. He is in my opinion anyway the best young English opener around by a mile at the moment and English condition with how early our season starts got pretty good stats for his age I think. Remember he only has 34 first class matches behind him. As I say give him the series and then have a better opinion than the two innings he has had so far.

Crawley is a promising batsman. And quite possibly the best available option right now. Fact is, he is nowhere near ready for Test cricket really.  The system is broken.

just getting on top and looking ok, we gift a wicket away.... how many times does this happen!!!

Any of sibley, Denly, Root or Stokes dont get out and we can probably add 70-100 to the score with 1 maybe 2 wickets less and it suddenly looks a lot better!

Is the BBC live text being unfair, or is Jos Buttler batting brainlessly?

butler has dispensed with any pleasantries and gone straight to Defcon 1

well......I suppose he's read again what's written on top of his handle.  :)
