Banging the rather obvious drum here but bloody hell Stokes is good

WE HAVE IT HAPPENING

Stokes and Foakes facing Woakes

Loving the headbands on the quicks, hope they make a comeback internationally...Jimmy, Broad and Woakes. Wonder if its a style statement or more because barbers have been closed!

This is some absolute dross from Parkinson

and he gets stokes!

Is parkinson really the best leggy we have?

It's between him and Mason Crane who's had injury problems, so I don't think we're spoilt for choice.

Other candidates are Joe Denly or Gary Ballance...

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

Interesting to hear, I didn't get a chance to watch much today but thought the clip of him getting out looked like he'd changed the wrong things - adding a trigger seems unlikely to help with the backlift.

Reports Bess bowled nicely? Ball to get Keaton certainly looked very tidy, likely team starting to become more obvious bar the seamers.

Bess has definitely been the best spinner on show so far in the match. Big day today for Leach and Moeen one would think. The lack of leg spinning talent in this country really surprises me. Parkinson got Stokes out but lacked control in general.

what do we think the side will be?

burns, sibley, crawley, denly, stokes, pope, buttler, bess, archer, broad, anderson

or would we have Lawrence at 4 denly at 3? bracey a late call up to bat at 3?

Id personally still do with denly to add some experience to what could be a very green top order and burns deserve his chance to come back in after injury

I'm going to throw a cheeky alternative out there (not saying I want to see this, especially as it includes B***ler) but:

Burns
Sibley
Crawley
Denly
Pope
Stokes
Lawrence
Buttler
Archer
Broad/Wood
Anderson

Aegas Bowl is not a raging bunsen, and Lawrence and Denly can both bowl some overs...

Can anyone actually tell me, or suggest a possible reason why Foakes isnt 1st choice WK. I really really really really dont understand it

He had a poor season with the bat last year and England management seem to prioritise runs from the WK, rather than pure keeping ability.

Bairstow and Buttler have both scored some significant Test runs in the past and England selectors seem to be selecting them on the basis that they might do again.

Really poor selection IMO and hopefully Foakes takes his chance when he eventually gets it again.

We have a problem with Leach vs Bess.

Leach has looked well short of overs but as a SLA he will be a better option against the right handers in the wi team

Bess however looks a much better spinner.

Seems Bracey should be the first choice keeper batsman... 🤣😂

Pope at 4 this innings is an interesting decision, purely for time in the middle or a clue to a change of plan?
