Sibley's dismissal...prime numpty shot. First off, he's consciously played that. It's not a steepling bouncer that he's fended off the shoulder. There's a fielder there specifically. And he got out the same way in the last match. One mitigating factor is it was just after a break.

Bairstow does it every game� he�s still around �

If Sibley get's dropped who is waiting in the wings? It would be stupid if ECB say Crawley. If that was the case to me it means that ECB flipped a coin between Sibley and Crawley on who gets dropped for this test.

Don't think it was far from that, probably biased by Crawley's ability to come again compared to Sibley having the look (Ballance, Khawaja) of someone whose technique has been picked apart, hence Dom getting a bit more rope. I do think though that if they do make a switch, Crawley would benefit from opening so that he doesn't start feeling obligated to up the tempo.

Suffice to say this has been a pleasant surprise

Bairstow has batted well again this innings. He def is a five or six in this line up and plays better down the order.
With the state of our batting his are valuable runs.

Can't believe he fell hook line and sinker for that

Buttler gets his fair share too.

Well, there's the collapse

Wood can bat a nice 20 odd would be handy here

Butler has had enough chances as well and tbh honest should be moved aside for Foakes permanently now as well, 2 hundreds in 50 odd tests and 90 innings with an avg of a tad over 30 isn�t great, it�s not awful but Foakes is about the same and his glove work is on another level to Butler

That 'over' from Bumrah was pathetic

Only seen it as text commentary but.. when he comes out to bat, they should get Wood to pepper him.

Very good in the end from Root and YJB giving England a chance to win but surely not lose this test. Heard a stat that shows how well Toot has played this last year and how poor the rest have been. So far in 2021 Root has 1200+ runs and second is Burns with 323 so 900 runs between Root and the next best. Just not good enough from the rest at all.

I don�t really see the point of multiple bouncers at number 11 batsmen. Put it this way, if it was us, after the bouncer hits them on the head, that should be the last time your trying to do it.

Credit again to Bairstow, the was another good innings. He looks like he�s trying to rein in a bit and play tighter.
