Is it too late for me to change my prediction and back England ?

This Test looks like their best chance yet, between bowling first and both sets of selections & injuries.

Wood steaming in with 150 k deliveries. And swing too. Good to see.

[NTA]

Good ball. Extra pace good swing

[KiwiMurph]

Lovely bowling to watch.

Is there a gun English gloveman who realistically could replace Bairstow?

Someone physically fit?

3 down. Labiashame not doing well this series

[KiwiMurph]

Well if you keep selecting a muppet like Bairstow you reap what you sow.

Another one. Given as byes despite being noisy

[KiwiMurph]

He finally caught one

[NTA]

He caught that one

Third time lucky

Prediction: we get rolled for under 200, then the sun comes out and England bazball to 400

[KiwiMurph]

What an action packed session

Foakes. Cricket chat going nuts about Bairstow.

What he said.

With Pope out, move Brook and maybe Root up the order. Then a combo of Stokes and Bairstow. Foakes as wk and a more than handy batsman. Still allows for an aggressive strategy and we get a bloody good glove man.

England win that session easily. Some good bowling, having figured out Warner years ago and Labuschagne more recently.

The Waj undone by a peach.

Will be a hard road from here

Barstow has company now
