How many does bairstow have to drop to have the gloves stripped from him ?

Not sure iv ever seen a keeper in a test drop more than he has actually caught, great batter average keeper at best, fine in white ball for max 50overs but he can’t stay as the test keeper just to much of a liability long term

Game on. So... Eng need to get the last two and then pray for rain to avoid batting tonight. Come out in sun tomorrow to knock off the runs.

It’s going to need a clear calm head to get us over the line I think. There’s a lot on Root I think.

I do not suppose it’s time yet for Zak to play a match winning innings. If your gonna average 20 something at least help us win a game.

Sounds like Moeen is going in at #3 - don't hate it considering the current circumstances

On another note the womens series is playing out wonderfully as well - went to the game on Wednesday night with my other half who absolutely loved it; says a lot about how good Australia are when England dominated the game won by just 3 runs

Ali in. Good intent. Quick 20 - 30 could be very helpful.

Aussies are favorites now. Urgh.

We have dropped over 20 catches in three games and it has cost us massively.

Down to double digits with Brook well set and Stokes also there? Not quite so sure about that
