Oh Root that is pretty average. With Crawley's miss that's two drops now in the slips.
No problem with Crawley dropping his. Would've carried to Root but i'd rather see them back themselves rather than it possibly dropping short. Root's was absolutely village. At least England have extracted some life out of the ball
fighting and drunkenness at Vitality Blast games .. who'd'a thunk it .. attendances well down but advance bookings for the Hundred are well up on last season

The Blast is much earlier in the summer than before, whereas the 100 gets the prime School Summer Holiday period
Stokes's first mistake as captain was to bowl first.Yes our batting is fragile but even our top 3 would of made runs on this.Also if Stokes isnt fit enough to bowl and your bowlers arent getting wickets why did he pick a spinner.Root is a far better spinner than Leach.We should of picked Overton as the the extra bowler because at the moment we're bowling with 3 and a half bowlers.Last time i wrote on this page i was critical and saying we we're a shambles and we came through and won so hopefully we'll do the same this test🤣

Hindsight is wonderful. New Zealand said they would have bowled too. I agree I wouldn’t have picked Leach, although I’ve said that 99% of the time he’s been selected.

Run rate just above 4 an over. At this rate they're be 320 for 5 or 6 at close. Completely different to Lords last week.
169-4
Hope it lasts 3 days & we escape with a draw.
