After the complete and utter shite we've endured with Charlton this season i'm cherishing this win even more. Really keeping me out of the doom & gloom!
Sarfaraz Khan has been a long time in the offing. Domestically a monster, also devoured England Lions whole last week. Big lad, which you always love to see in internationals

Not sure what has taken them so long to pull the trigger on playing him. Bowls leggies too which is useful with Rav Jad out

I mean, he's not going to play, he's the reserve batsman. Unless they're sick of Gill, which tbf they ought to be
I hope Rishabh Pant is fit too play soon after being out for over a year after his horror car crash. Only 25 so hopefully he can overcome the multiple injuries and burns to return to top line cricket.
Jadeja is a big loss, India either will have to weaken their bowling by replacing Jadeja with Washington, or weaken their batting by picking Yadav who's a tailender.

They have to pick Yadav anyway, I'd say. Sweeping becomes harder against mystery spin
Stokes' brilliant fielding yesterday was the first time that Jadeja has ever been run out in Test cricket (101 innings). It is safe to say that Ashwin's dismissal in the first innings wasn't the only time that Jadeja has left his partner stranded!
Probably belongs more on the county side of things but I see Leicestershire have signed Will Puckovski as an overseas for the start of the championship, given his major history of concussions this feels like a gamble, but if he can stay healthy it will be interesting to see how he goes.

He was over here last summer playing for Weybridge in the Surrey Championship - 428 runs @ 61.14 in the Premier Division out of an overall 614 @ 55.82 despite the fact that he was out three times for a duck.
Watching the U19s vs Australia, I think Farhan Ahmed is already a better bowler than his brother. Predicting right now he'll be England's main spinner within 5 years, unless Bashir turns out to be a gun
Wylie also bowled well, got some turn, and can bat. Oh god. Their battle will be legendary etc
He is a "like for like" replacement for Jaydn Denly as opener and left arm orthodox. Poor Jaydn hasn't done badly with the ball (19.2-1-78-4) but has had a bit of a nightmare time with the bat as he's scored 96 runs in his last 11 innings and failed to get beyond 2 in the other 9 appearances at the crease.
Wylie has finished with 4-42 off his 10 overs and it will be interesting to see how he does opening.

Smashed a 4, was dropped at slip and then trapped LBW for 7 (9)
He did. Unfortunately, after smashing a maximum over the cover boundary, he tried an extravagant drive with the next ball that came sharply back at him. Shame because he played a beautiful block drive earlier on for four and perhaps the previous ball's success got into his head. With that I suspect our chances of us getting into the semis might have disappeared.
