These guys are once again looking the part.

Have we really turned a corner?

The selection policy of backing players who either have churned out results or shown real promise in FC matches rather than trying to convert white ball power hitters seems to be having the intended consequences.

Crawley to rival Denly for the number 3 spot when Burns is back fit?

Promising for England for this match and the future, proper Test batting

Crawley is the new Tendulkar.

Been a decent display with the bat, but this is some incredibly average bowling; feels like a last day of school effort in the field as well...

You can only play against what�s in front of you. Always backed Crawley and yea maybe more than others as I�m a Kent fan and Kent born and breed but one thing for sure is that as he has gone through his 4 test match career so far he is getting better and better and learning more and more. Left really well and put away the bad or over pitched balls and complements Sibley really well. Fingers crossed he goes on nice and big this game and then when Burns is back fit and hopefully he starts the county season well England finally have some real selection issues at the top of the order.

This is the first time England have reached 100-0 batting first in a Test match since 2009.

It didn't happen for a whole decade!

Very ordinary bowling but how lovely to see test match batting. Loving this approach

Wow that�s poor

But, 100 balls faced so did a job

Seems to be one of those dismissals where you dont quite get a strength right and get out, if a batsman start leaving balls in his strength theres issues

that being said im only basing this on the bbc live text

He moves across to odd stump so opens up this dismissal. He got away with one earlier so it looks like it�s been identified as a potential get him out ball.

Still, he did a job and played the right way so in this case.. forgivable .. as long as it doesn�t keep happening

fair enough! He seems to be the type to work on that so hopefully it cut out of his game, good start but we need to capitalise on this start now

really pleasing to see proper test match cricket over the past 3 tests from England

Agreed. He does seem to learn and adapt quickly. I too am loving his seemingly new approach of the England top 6.. not just being all �positive� and �brand of Cricket� crap .. aka white ball

It�s almost like they�ve realised it�s.. you know.. red ball cricket
