Looks like Lawrence might be given an opportunity to stake a claim in the First Test side against the West Indies as this is the line up for their initial warm up game:
England (first XI expected to bat): Crawley, Lees, Root (c), Lawrence, Stokes, Bairstow, Foakes (wk), Woakes, Overton, Wood, Robinson, Leach
Subs: Fisher, Mahmood, Parkinson, Pope

Leach over Parkinson? Ffs0

They've named 12 in that starting line up too with six front line bowlers so clearly not a shoot out between the two of themLeuth said:Leach over Parkinson? Ffs0 -

20-0 after 10 overs. Bit of a difference in strike rates:
Lees 1* (30)
Crawley 18* (31)0 -
Bryan Charles has just come on to bowl. Now I know that his first name isn't spelt like that of Lara but this cannot be a coincidence. I also suspect that his middle names of Nigel and Lennox are due to his dad being a big fan of the former boxers Benn and Lewis respectively.0

A few of the players who've done overseas franchise cricket along with England bubbles seem to be strugglingAddick Addict said:Jason Roy has pulled out of the IPL due to not wanting to be away from his family for two months. He's just returned for the PSL and his second child was only born in January.1 -

Just watched a few minutes of it. I don't know if my fat fingers pressed on something but I was getting subtitles coming up......which were hilarious & far better than watching the cricket. No idea who is doing the subtitles but they certainly aren't West Indian !!!1

Was Lees so much slower than Zak and Root because he was playing a careful, solid "anchor" innings, or did he just struggle to score?Addick Addict said:208-3 off 74

He was slow but clearly mindful that he couldn't afford a low score, not so much from the perspective that he might not make the Test team but more because he wanted to go in with a score behind him. It was a decent innings without actually telling us too much particularly as the opposition bowling attack wasn't threateningkillerandflash said:

That's the problem with leaving out Burns and Hameed and playing Lees here. Lees may score runs in the Windies, but we've no idea whether he'd be any better against say Australia, down under.Addick Addict said:

I had hoped the Broad/Anderson removal was going to be an opportunity to blood something more exciting and a team that might take wickets in all conditions . As it it , 3 80 mile per hour seamers and a defensive spinner . I’m excited.0

Bairstow is a big, strong lad but he's definitely looking like his carrying a bit. Perhaps it was him (and not Robinson) who refused the skin-fold test prior to the Ashes and accused the management of wanting to "fat shame" him? Shouldn't be a major issue as long as he reaches the fitness levels required which is something that Robinson failed to do on the tour.
