That is brain dead cricket from Carty. He knows that Mahmood and Carse can't carry on bowling through so one end will open up even if Rashid is bowling at the other. Wouldn't be surprised if his fellow players shun him in the dressing room and leave him on his Todd.
Flippin’ ‘eck Tucker!

A really poor display from us in the field with four dropped catches, two missed run outs and numerous misfields.
We are also definitely a proper spin bowler short at the moment - Bethell and Jacks between them returned 10-0-91-2 compared to Rashid's 10-0-63-4. The best teams will make mincemeat of our current fifth bowling options.

It will be interesting to see if anyone does actually sign him. That "shadow contract" he would have to sign means that his new county is obliged to pay for his services in the event that he loses his central contract - which is totally different to what is happening right now where the ECB pick up the tab so he is a risk free signing.
I imagine it's pretty unusual to have five international teams scheduled to play in this country on the same day, especially as it's IPL Finals Day. England are due to play West Indies at The Oval, while South Africa play Zimbabwe in Arundel and Wales play a home match in Usk. Has that ever happened before?

I can find a day with 6:
A bit disingenuous as an ICC tournament was taking place here at the time.....of course there are going to be matches being played !
I think @Chizz was asking is it rare for there to be a number of International matches being played in the UK outside of a tournament.

None of the top 7 bowl seam, which doesn't help. Instead we have 3 spinners and 2 keepers.

Smith and Dukett out. The latter dropped two catches, missed a run out and now has a duck to add to his day. He's had better days!
Root 154 no
Root 166 no.
At one time it was in the ballance.
Root decided otherwise
Root given not out on a marginal umpire's call, when he had made just 6 runs.
Such are the tight margins of cricket, with the on field decision making a massive difference here.
