What a great test match, whoever wins.4

Well Buttler won't be dropped after this innings...
If Stokes can bowl, maybe England should bring Foakes in to keep and retain Buttler as a specialist batsman?

Have I just cursed Buttler?3

I thought that they might do that. All depends on whether Golden Balls is prepared to stay at 3 or whether it was agreed that it would be a short term measurekillerandflash said:Well Buttler won't be dropped after this innings...

Well done England. And in particular, well done to three players, two of whom are the recipients of almost non-stop criticism.
Joe Root out-captained Azhar Ali. Buttler batted brilliantly, despite (or perhaps because of?) his below-par keeping. And Woakes played like a genuine, world-class all-rounder.
Lots of selection headaches for the next Test, which is a very good thing.8 -
Well played England.Great run chase.Well played Jos Buttler youve secured your spot in next test.Keep it up.BARMY ARMY BARMY ARMY.2

How do you think Buttler did today chaps? I can’t believe the amount of criticism he gets on here.0

He batted brilliantly BUT his keeping in this match has been awfuldickplumb said:How do you think Buttler did today chaps? I can’t believe the amount of criticism he gets on here.3 -
He dropped three catches and missed a stumping. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have had to put his pads on today. That said, he batted very well.dickplumb said:How do you think Buttler did today chaps? I can’t believe the amount of criticism he gets on here.
still think he is in borrowed time. I’m wondering if foakes has a bit of an attitude and is kept out for non cricketing reasons.0 -
Great days cricket..well played England despite some faults...provided stokes is fit to bowl I'd bring back Crawley and I'd consider giving jimmy a rest ,might even rest archer too and bring in Curran or wood.....1

Ben Stokes out of the rest of the Pakistan series for family reasons. Flying back to NZ, I think his father is unwell
Presumably another batsman will come in, and we'll have to stick to 5 bowlers starting with Woakes at 70 -
That's a real blow and I hope his father will be ok.killerandflash said:https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/53712110

As for the team I'd consider bringing in Foakes and playing Buttler as a batsman only.0 -
Wish Stokes and his family all the best.
I think if both Curran and Woakes play you still have decent balance. Looks like Ollie Robinson will be given a game, can see Anderson sitting the next one out.0 -

Don't need to drop a bowler do you because Stokes is unavailable.Chizz said:

He did well & his runs nearly made up for the runs he cost with his missed chances.dickplumb said:How do you think Buttler did today chaps? I can’t believe the amount of criticism he gets on here.0 -
Crawley Back at 3, then
4 root
5 pope
6 buttler1 -
Oh yeah Crawley, whoops0

Me neither, Pope at 4, Buttler at 5 and Foakes at 6 looks weak.Chizz said:

As for the team I'd consider bringing in Foakes and playing Buttler as a batsman only.Personally I can’t see past this team lining up for the second test:
Burns
Sibley
Crawley
Root
Pope
Buttler
Woakes
Bess
Archer
Broad
Robinson1 -
Yes, the absence of Stokes has removed the possibility of Buttler losing the gloves but still playing as a batsman
Stokes at 4, Pope 5, Buttler 6, Foakes 7, Woakes 8 might have been an option if Stokes was ok to bowl, but Pope 4, Buttler 5, Foakes 6, Woakes 7 looks weak, especially as Foakes hasn't batted in a proper match for a month now.

Stuart Broad fined 15 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the first Test in Manchester.Broad was found guilty of “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction”“Broad admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Chris Broad of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel”4

Crawley and Curran play in place of Archer and Stokes
Pakistan win the toss and will bat0 -
We've had 6 days of scorching weather.....4 of them with no cricket. Play starts today & looks like lots of thunderstorms due this afternoon & tomorrow.
Don't you just love the British weather.1
