Yes, that's already announced.

Yes, that's already announced.

I hope he's had some review training.

That was a toss to win. England bowl. Regardless of how the pitch plays feels like a tough day to bat, as there will likely be lots of interruptions and the overheads will be tricky.

Zero excuses for the bowlers today.

[PaulWinch again]

Well except one is on his knees, and two are coming back from injury. But to put a more positive slant on it, well done Atkinson.

[PaulWinch again]

Urgh Tongue is having a nightmare start here.

[olaftab]

False Tongue in action today.

[paul_e]

Some wild deliveries by Tongue so far, as it stands he can either bowl quick or he can bowl a decent line and length, not helping us much.

Nice one Woaksy Rahul gone

[taylorsworkrate]

Very unlike Rahul whose shot selection has been excellent all series.

Need to run through them now in these brilliant bowling conditions

[paul_e]

Huge wicket, now we need to push for another one whilst the conditions are so clearly in our favour.

[PaulWinch again]

Bowling has been patchy. We need to be tighter with line and length.

[taylorsworkrate]

Atkinson has been good. Woakes a bit unthreatening considering how ideal conditions are for him. Tongue and Overton look all over the place.

Really shouldn't be letting a team get more than 200 in these conditions so whatever is left to play today is big
