Well as mentioned Billings has joined the squad so he could play the fifth, not sure of the rules on sub keepers for the current match
He’ll have to quarentine before joining the bubble. If YJB and Buttler are too injured to keep it probably has to be Pope.

Confirmed Pope will keep in the second innings.

Yes just seen that, we presume Butler is now out of the match and Pope bats in the second innings.

He’s had lots of chances before but if that’s right another chance to get a few runs.

Pope won't he able to bat as well as keep will he?
That could be it for Butler in test cricket.

Pope apparently giving a pretty decent account of himself with the gloves too. At this point you just have to accept this is a premium banter series and roll with it.

I believe he was a keeper batter at county age cricket (don’t quote me ok that) but he was picked as a keeper/batsmen for a test in SA I believe a couple of years ago so he is a fairly decent sub to have. Certainly done well today, take from leech was decent as was the ML dismissal

Declaring with Leach on a hattrick, the absolute shithousery of it. Outstanding.

Can't believe our openers have seen a day off unscathed

Maybe he should have sent Boland out next, with a training bat, to maximize Leach’s chances of getting a hatrick?

We got thru the last hour but we can just hope we can bat a day tommorow

Walked out with no pads, gloves or bat and just stepped out the way if he had any decency 😂

Boris should announce an additional bank holiday to celebrate the fact!

Pope will only be able to keep in the second innings, if butler can’t bat then Aus will need one less wicket

Really pleased and prove of Uzzie. Never understood why he’s always been the odd man out. Class innings and he speaks with class as well. If they still drop him for Hobart I’ll be gutted. Nothing against Harris but he’s barely capable of scoring half centuries yet he’s getting so many opportunities. Uzzie now has TEN centuries, Harris can only dream of such amount.

It'll still be a hattrick ball, the next time he comes onto bowl.
