I blame Edward Genius Smith. Coz everything’s his fault.

Well played from Denly, sounds like 250-270 will be a decent score in fairness

Parkinson certainly nowhere near Rashids level yet. Not too untidy just a little predictable today.

Also looks to have the arm of a 50yo club player!

The discarding of Plunkett by the selectors and captain leaves such a bitter taste in the mouth; there really aren't many better middle over bowlers out there...

Been outclassed by SA in the batting department today

Good knocks by De Kock and perhaps more surprisingly Bavuma

Out of interest does anyone know what type of bat Bavuma uses. I mean seeing as he stands about 5’4, does he a use a smaller bat, in size and in weight?

Plunkett and Rashid did a good job for us in those middle and end overs, spin it both ways and some of the hitters are not quite so confident.
They played a big part in is winning the World Cup, not sure if Rashid is fit or not but yes agree Plunkett was discarded too soon in my book.

Big hand for forum favourite Woakes with some great figures up front,in the end thou, nowhere near enough from us.

Has denly just switched to Gray Nicolls from the match photos? I thought he used SF usually?

Regarding size, my 13yo is larger than him and has just started using a Harrow so my guess is length-wise he is a size 6.  Not sure how chunky he could go on size 6 with respect to weight?  My son's 6 was just under 2-7 which was heavy for a 6.  It is possible that he has a full-width blade that may up the mass a bit for a 'man' without making it too thick (which would affect balance and pickup?).  Was with Kooks but I think he was playing with a NB in this match (iirc).  Not sure if either of them would do custom easily (consdiering he is in SA) ... or if it is a custom just stickered?  Either way the 2 sixes he hammered does make one question the fixation with size (of man and bat).

Archer is out of the rest of the tour plus Sri Lanka and the IPL with a stress fracture of his elbow.

That's an unusual stress fracture! Sad for Jofra but possibly not the worst from an England point of view.
