I hate watching England bowl to a tail, we gift cheap runs far too often.

Sam Curran isn't ready to play test cricket, looks a bit lost to me, he's not even looked close to getting a wicket.
Given my record so far today I know this is a risk but Jennings is a better player than when he was last in the team, his technique is much better and he looks like he believes he should be there now. Having a opening pair see off the first 15-20 overs is such a massive difference to what we've seen for the last few years.First 50 partnership from the openers in 13 attempts, which says everything about the winter we had.

Made a steady start with the bat, so we’ll see what tomorrow brings. It’s really frustrating that a number players in the team seemingly have to get to the point where they are heavily criticised and their place in the side is threatened for them to produce good performances. Certainly been the case with Broad for some time.
