It is a problem with the test team attack as you have Broad, Anderson, Woakes, Archer, Wood and Curran. All of whom should get the new ball for different reasons when they play.

When we go to Aus, Archer absolutely must be given the new ball. Broad will have to be first change which will p*ss him off and probably make him bowl better. (assuming Anderson is still going...)

And assuming that Anderson is in the hat for selection in Aus presumably? Broad seems more naturally suited to Aussie wickets, Wood's pace will be a real asset, Archer has to be given the new ball. So if Stokes is fit and able to bowl and they've settled on a spinner, does Jimmy even get into the Test side for games in Aus? Realistically leaves one bowling spot and there's a few others putting their hands up for selection.

Proper dreamland but I'd love to see Ollie Robinson given a go before too long, just such a good bowler.

Going to be a good game now. Let's see how Morgan does against the new ball. This is where I think he is a place high at 4. Having Stokes in now would be rather more reassuring.

Again, Morgan wants us to be adaptable to the state of the game on trickier surfaces, so here we are, learning how to do it. Big fan, even if it means we lose.

You can’t get Morgan and Butler out without being good

Couldn’t agree more.

Also that must be the third time at least Roy has been caught at backward point driving first ball of a game. Seems like he has been out of form for a while now.

May have to eat a few choice words about Billings, very good from him. Glad he was honest to admit he won't keep his place when this side is at full strength, but it's obviously hard to take for the lad...

It looks like Bairstow has put a bit of medical tape over the SS edge stamp

Brilliant to get more than 300 from where we were after 10 overs.
