Yep, good for us though.

excellent bowling from jordan, they're terrified of him

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah really hostile spell, he's bowling excellently.

[paul_e]

should've had a 4th, poor from Gurney.  Tredwell has somehow got a 3rd despite not doing anything, no dip, no turn, no deception, just poor shot selection.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah Tredwell has been a bit lucky here. Jordan has been outstanding and I think pretty much played himself into the Test side.

[PaulWinch again]

Gurney shouldn't be going around the wicket if he can't control the no ball.

[PaulWinch again]

Buttler has got to better there.

[PaulWinch again]

Great win and some great performances from Ballance and Jordan in particular.

[paul_e]

Clear man of the match performance from Jordan and generally a very professional showing.

Saw him at Edgbaston  in our first LVC game and he gave Rikki Clarke a torrid time resulting in a broken finger. The bastard.

I liked the look of Jordan when he first started being mentioned for England and since then he's got quicker and more consistent, I think he's still got more to come, I suspect he'll cap around 91-92mph but if he can do that and keep his line and length we've got a seriously top drawer bowler on our hands in him.  He's surely got to be in the test side this summer as well.

Cook said in his post-match interview that he was looking forward to seeing Jordan bowl with the red ball this summer. I think that's a big hint at test selection. He's moved ahead of Bresnan and is at least 10mph quicker than Woakes. He has to play in the first test.

He does and I agree I reckon he'll be a 90 mph bowler. He's much more of a threat than Bresnan, he's also excellent in the field and a potentially excellent bat. We've got a real talent on our hands here.

Hales called up as cover for Cook, I'd like to see him play tomorrow.
