Great bowling from Archer this morning getting 3-13 bowling at 92mph, wouldn't want to face that.

Slightly different this time because the main problem was injuries in the squad. Sam Curran batting at 6 because we only had 4 outright batsmen fit (and Moeen as a true allrounder) meant a collapse was almost inevitable, especially when we lost Salt first ball.

Imagine scoring 258 in your 20 overs and still losing!

Mark Wood took 5 for 14 in the IPL today, best ever figures by an Englishman in that tournament apparently.

Bairstow back as keeper and Archer ruled out for the summer.

Thanks Jofra, it was good while it lasted!

Really harsh on Foakes as well. Also I think giving Bairstow the gloves probably undermines his batting.

Maybe I have an old school approach but I really think that you should play your best keeper in every test, but that's not Bazzball is it?

Right now I reckon Burgess is in with a shout of being the best English keeper, he's been immense so far this summer.

Yes, and it looks like the end. I hope he has another career option he can turn to now.
