Not sure why anyone would be surprised when we've basically made just one change to the batting lineup.

I'd forgotten the game started today.. Looks at score..nothing to see here. so moves along

Root should stick to batting at 4

Root should ask for a transfer

Root is so like Kane at Spurs

Root had to move upto 3 to protect Lawrence. we dont want 3 inexperienced batters in the top 3..
Root will do the captains JOB. puffs out his chest.. I will bat 3.

I look at Crawleys body language. he could careles.
Hes playing for his test career even though hes only 23.. but he believes his own hype and thinks he will always play.

So.... Stokes and bairstow best pairing in the world

Ok... Best pairing in the last hour and a half

Christ on a bike Stokes... What the hell was that

He's been busted now

You can tell by the way Foakes holds his bat hes looks a decent player. Hes a way better keeper than Buttler as well. Shame Buttler got chosen way to often. simply because hes Roots mate

Is it me or does he have a passing resemblance to the actor Guy Pearce

Looked like Bairstow missed that by some distance but he was given out caught. Successful review.

That facking umpire

Why has Foakes had so few opportunities? He's a better batsman than Buttler, and keeping wise in a different league.

Very lucky Jonny bairstow

Johnny

Johnny

Well played JB

Indeed so... Century came off and absolute dogshat ball

It's bloody annoying having to continue trying to dislike Bairstow when he's actually playing properly

Good recovery, well played Bairstow

No idea, will have a look next time.

Good response from the lower order.

You know you're in trouble when Bairstow is our second best batsman

Fair play to the bloke. Gets plenty of (fair) criticism but always comes back fighting.
