Hope Curran’s injury is minor.
Root and Bairstow doing well.

It’s clearly his side now and the positive intent that they have shown in the tests so far has been refreshing. They’re playing attacking test cricket and whilst that does go against the traditional view it’s good to see. Fifty runs an hour is phenomenal test batting, what’s not to like about it? Traditionalists will struggle with it but we seem to be on the verge of something special.There are still issues to be addressed though. If Bairstow can nail down the number three position that would be a huge plus. I like him as a cricketer and he’s just the sort of player that we want in the side. I’m still to be convinced by Jennings but think he’s just about has enough credit to warrant a place on the West Indies tour early next year.Interesting days ahead.
