Azam Khan (son of pint-sized wicket-keeper Moin) is a fair old size. As in looks like he’s scoffed a small herd of sheep.

Not quite in Rahkeem Cornwall league though.

Super bowling effort from England, the spinners were superb.

First live sport since the League Cup final for me at Headingley today. Baking hot day, good atmosphere, straightforward win. Looking forward to another couple of days at cricket before summer's out and maybe even a football match.

A thoroughly enjoyable watch. Well done to the spinners, Mo less so.

Another reason to curse the b*stards who sold the game out to Murdoch, so they could pretend to nourish the grass-roots of the game.

F*ck 'em. I'm off to Leicester-Derby on Thursday.

Plus, think of the players who didn't play yesterday: Stokes, Vince, the Currans, Archer, Wood, Woakes, Gregory, Billings, etc... Hales

Eng squad for first two Tests against India

England squad: Joe Root (Yorkshire), James Anderson (Lancashire), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Dom Bess (Yorkshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Rory Burns (Surrey), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Zak Crawley (Kent), Sam Curran (Surrey), Haseeb Hameed (Nottinghamshire), Dan Lawrence (Essex), Jack Leach (Somerset), Ollie Pope (Surrey), Ollie Robinson (Sussex), Dom Sibley (Warwickshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), Mark Wood (Durham)

Woakes misses out through injury. He really needs to play less cricket  ::)

I might be wide of the mark here but I can't help feeling that Woakes is currently going through the sort of situation where he's so desperate to prove his fitness that he's over doing it in training and making things worse. England really should have just said they were resting him for the entire summer because that's what's happened now anyway but by making him go to camps and carry drinks they've effectively taken him out of contention for Warks as well.

Another hundred for Hameed today. Hopefully he’ll be returning to the Test side shortly and will go on to make good on his potential.
