Why is bairstow keeping wicket
Foakes has a stiff backWhy is bairstow keeping wicket
One we desperately needed as well, Jimmy and Broad can't go on forever and we can pretty much forget about Archer playing tests ever again.Potts is a great find.
Just need an out and out quick bowler who can stay fit as well.One we desperately needed as well, Jimmy and Broad can't go on forever and we can pretty much forget about Archer playing tests ever again.
Please let us only talk of Jamie if we’re trying to be positive.I think England have an interesting pool of pace bowlers at the moment. It's somewhat unusual situation because Anderson, Broad and Stokes, and to some extent Woakes, have been stalwarts in the side for so long that other players haven't had much of a look in. But there's Wood, Archer, Stone, Robinson, the Overtons, the Currans, Mahmood, Fisher, Gregory, Willey, Topley, Garton, Payne Carse who have all been in or around the international setup recently, plus some decent county bowlers like Sam Cook, Jamie Porter and a few others. The ones who will become first choice in future years may largely depend on injuries and timing of opportunity as much as pure ability.

Looking at the statement it seems so. Or if they test anyone who needs outside treatment as I’m guessing Foakes must have?Wonder if Stokes had COVID the other day. I guess they probably only test if you've got symptoms by now in cricket?

That damn lbw overturned but the second rain break yesterday seems annoyingFecks sake I’ve had it with these two!
Momentum from last night definitely been lostSick of the sight of Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell; it's like bowling at two Chanderpauls.
Dodgy lasagna settings required over at Headingley.
Nicely timed! Well done !This partnership…
He didn’t even manage to catch COVID off FoakesVery tough chance that but Root’s had a bad game at first slip in general.
I think Stokes' captaincy will be great for Leach, with Root he always gave the impression he was the last resort but Stokes seems to have more belief and confidence in him.I really hope Leach can take it up a notch and cement himself in the team as he seems such a likeable guy and the whole team seem to love him.
Also NZ must be the most likeable team in test cricket
Leach appears to be the type of spinner who needs loads of overs to get into a rhythm. Stokes is miles better for bowlers than Root, did a nice job with Parkinson in his debut too. Does wonders for confidence.This has to be Leach’s best match ever. Fair play to him (and very useful for us Lancashire fans…) this has probably kept him in the team for quite a while longer.
Kane is probably rueing not picking Patel massively here
You get that impression, Stokes seems like a man that fully backs the players in his team. There definitely seems to be a good vibe in the team, easy 2 tests in when you’re winning but hopefully it lastsI think Stokes' captaincy will be great for Leach, with Root he always gave the impression he was the last resort but Stokes seems to have more belief and confidence in him.
295 is gettable but it's still a lot to chase. The top three has to click this time.Momentum from last night definitely been lost
Trent Boult looks like T-1000 from Terminator 2.
He was just admiring his shot straight to the fielderI have absolutely no idea what Zak Crawley was thinking there
