[PaulWinch again]

So sloppy again.

[aev]

Marsh has batted really well.

Sigh.

[Risso]

Marsh has batted really well.

Sigh.

He's smashing everybody all over the place.

[olaftab]

Once again England are snatching defeat from jaws of victory. How many more matches to lose before a proper wicky is selected?

[aev]

Winning away in Pakistan was fantastic, though they are a pretty average side.

This is a bit like Roundheads v Cavaliers.

[Jane]

Finally!

Think we'll find that they will become very stubborn and the more clamour there is for Foakes to be in the side, the more resolute they will become in picking Bairstow.

I get that impression that proving the system/process in more important to Stokes & Baz than winning

It's fine of them to think that their system is the best, but they have to be flexible to some extent

I don't agree with either of those. I reckon Bairstow is on very shaky ground and needs to score runs this match. I can see why they stuck with him though to bat in his home ground and with a whole bunch of righteous indignation at his back.

[Villa Lew]

Superb knock from Marsh a run a ball.

[Monty]

For me, goodness, I think this just has to be it for Bairstow with the gloves. Foakes is hardly a hopeless bat either, it's not like we're bringing in a tailender!

[aev]

Root drops another one.

[UK Redsox]

Root drops another

EDIT.....but catches the next one

[aev]

3rd time lucky.

[Monty]

That was quite funny from Root. Pure furious with the ball he was.
