Foakes has been batting far too low. He�s been left with the tail in the previous games so that explains his average

Foakes currently averaging 15 for this series?

Am talking about art and skill of playing spin. And don't forget he had to bat with tailenders unlike with a pure batsman at other end. He had a not out in his 40s and other times he had to take risks and get out when he is batting with no. 11.
Its out skill and confidence that someone shows out there in the middle. And to me foakes has done that.

Foakes also didn't play the first test which was comfortably the best batting surface of the whole tour.

Not sure that�s true barring the 2nd test first innings where he was left not out.
His role in the team is to bat with the tail, as he does at Surrey, isn�t it?
No doubt he has looked comfortable against spin but does he not need to score runs at the same time?

Can�t remember a dismissal where he hit out playing with the tail.

He must be second in the averages then!

he will score runs if he is given chance slightly higher up the order.
he may not have the runs behind his back but i would rather have a guy like him who has the technique to dug it out in the middle than the ones who look like they are going to get out ever other ball.

That�s his series done. The end is near

I've been impressed with Lawrence. He's grown in confidence and is starting to look like he can play at this level, especially now batting 5/6. I think he's done enough to merit a run in the team.

Feel sorry for axar, he�ll be dropped as soon as jadeja�s fit and probably won�t get another test match

Definitely looked better down the order a bit. Not sure how he fits in at 5/6 though with Stokes and Buttler presumably back.

Our problem no.3 spot won't go away!

England's batting in summary...

Wickets in clusters...

But they find room for Pope!

No obvious candidates unless the likes of Pope could move up the order in more familiar conditions?

But it does..

Bat Crawley there like he should

Burns
Sibley
Crawley

Problem solved... If not burns then whichever opener is scoring loads in county cricket
