I think that was the previous series (2017?) when Indias pace attack was still a work in progress.

My abiding memory of the series in question was Woakes backing away to the square leg umpire ala Tufnell when anything short came down. That is definitely not the technique of a top order bat.

Chris Woakes is a very good Test match 8 and excellent bowler in England. Test match 3 - not close.
Played one test in the following series in 2021, got a fifty. Recollections may vary ;) Don't disagree that he's not a candidate for 3, but in a world without Stokes he'd have a long career at 7.

Australian team balance tomorrow very interesting I think, always a big risk going without a spinner. It'll look a shocking call if a pacer goes down injured.

Jammy catch from a keeper on his heels and put of position...

Thought this earlier, looked especially good because of how poor a position he got into. Spectacular recovery but a better keeper doesn't get that wrong footed.

However if he hadn’t been wrong footed/in the wrong place it may have been a much harder chance being unable to go with a fully outstretched arm.

I’m a big Foakes fan but says a lot how pleased the rest were for him.

That said his keeping was otherwise pretty shoddy again, hopefully a bit of confidence helps.

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

Poor Bairstow. Even when he does something decent it's still sh!te in the eyes of the forum! 😂 Didn't see much today actually, but saw him drop a few which were wobbling about early doors. Not uncommon in English conditions. Did he miss any chances?

Decent enough day for England and the game, if they can finish it off relatively quickly in the morning. If the weather holds it could be another interesting test.

Decent knock from both Crawley and Mo this morning, let’s see if we can really put the pressure on them and bat once and big as we know it will be scored quickly
