When was the last time England won the toss?! Didn't win any of the Ireland games, not sure we won any of the Windies tests either

If there’s weather about it may not be so bad to bowl on the first morning

Pleased Curran is in looks a good balanced side

Remember when our slip cordon was done with military precision?

These are the sort of conditions where it is incredibly draining for the bowlers but chances  will be created.  Take them and the moment will lift the bowlers, squander them and it will become a long day out there.

This doesn't strike me as a team with a batting line  up with many natural athletes and good fielders in it which  really emphasises the loss of Stokes.

Not sure why they are in a Biosecure Bubble. This England side can't catch anything.

Stokes won the first one didn’t he and chose to bowl?

Yes, I think so far this summer the side losing the toss has gone on to win every game

Oh yeah, still one out of eight is pretty unlucky but like you say the result matters most

Probably thought it had pitched outside leg, considering nearly half of the ball did then it's not surprising that he would think that.

If your hinting the umps could of given him on that technique I’m with you

Kim Barnett,Chanderpaul...uummmm George Bailey,Peter Wiley...all start facing square leg.

It may work,did for Shiv, but it  don’t half look ugly  :)
