Typical soft dismissal for Denly.
I'd drop him when Root comes back, getting a start and not converting becomes a problem when it's happening almost every match and it's usually through an awful shot. Crawley is much younger and looks a better player for me. I actually really like the look of Burns, Sibley, Crawley and Root as the top 4 and then behind that Stokes, Buttler, Pope and Bess is a strong middle order as well. Even better all of them are young enough to be around for a few seasons so we can tak some time to find players to bring through around them as the next wave.
On the game we're doing ok, I'd like a bit of a counter attack before the new ball but either way we should finish the day with a lead over 150 and some wickets in the bag, then every over we push towards lunch nudges us closer to the win and lowers the chance of them taking the match. Aside from a couple of poor shots this has been a brilliant display of playing the match conditions after a tough first innings.
