Bracey looks very very well organised and surprised me with his technique.  Read a stat that there was only 3/4 players who played and missed less than he did in FC cricket last year.  Definitely one on the radar and another WK/batsman!

Cant wait to see Jofra and Wood steaming in today against Stokes XI :). Wonder if Buttler will let them bowl in tandem.

Lawrence looked a class act to me - very "Rooty". Busy at the crease, kept the scoreboard ticking, ran hard between the wickets but solid in defence when needed.

Early days clearly but he and Pope look like they could be England's engine room for years.

Interesting how many young batsman have clearly based their game or at least mannerisms/style on Root these days - Pope is another who looks very similar and there are a few others dotted around.

Think it's the influence of limited overs cricket. If you're not naturally a big hitter you need to find a way to score in 50/20 overs at an acceptable strike rate.

Root's record in ODIs is phenomenal so it's perhaps not surprising that players like Pope and Lawrence, who don't seem to be naturally big hitting players, have adopted Root's approach.

I believe Lawrence also bowls some 'filthy spin'

Having played against Marquino Mindley before, he's sharp but didn't look a test bowler but he went well in the first WI warm up game.

Burns looked really rusty yesterday - fair enough considering how long he's been out injured as well

Sibley strangled down leg which can happen

Jennings just meh, especially I guy whose meant to be better against spin

YJB done himself no favours there, big opportunity for foakes. To me its clear that England see Buttler and Foakes as the keeping options based on this game

I thought JB looked better today than he has in ages. So no big score, but he technique looked in better order.
