If Foakes ain't playing for the rest of the series then he must be shaging one of the selecters daughters
Who do you drop?
Bairstow if necessary. Foakes is averaging 51 in county cricket this season. I know Bairstow is a better batsman but if he keeps missing stumpings and dropping catches he's a liability.
Plus he's a ginger headed Yorkshire gobshite and I can't stand him.

Bairstow is without a shadow of a doubt one of our best 5 batsmen. 100% he should be in the team.
That's a different argument to if he should keep.
Maybe we tell Pope he either opens or is dropped 😉
It wasn't trying to get a few overs under the lights in a day night game, or not wasting time letting numbers 10 and 11 scratch around for 10 more, Root was in.
Declaring just so that a "result" is more likely isn't ideal if it benefits the opposition more
And while the 4 overs of bowling last night were entertaining, another few overs of Root smacking 4s and 6s would have been pretty "entertaining" too...
Looking at the weather forecast, play should start tomorrow at 11 ok, but rain is likely before the lunch interval and will probably ruin the rest of the day...
Should Foakes have played? Should Crawley have played? Should Wood have played? Should Pope bat at 3? Should Stokes be playing? Should we have declared?
Anyone would think we were well behind in the test, there are loads of "questionable" decisions. There were for the Pakistan tour. We keep winning. There is probably a 50/50 chance we win this test, against the "best team in the world". Enjoy it 😉

Weather forecast keeps changing. Checked at 6am it said pretty rainy day.
Now checked again and all 3 apps say different things. Common one is cloudy all day and rain at 6.
BBC saying raining now (it isn’t) and 20%chance of rain between now and 11am. Then again at 1ish.
iPhone weather says cloudy but 30%chance of rain from 4.

Foakes could keep wicket and Bairstow plays as a batsman only

Asking for a bookmaker.
