I've only watched a little bit from the website footage but, for me, it looked as if Miles is a bit raw. We also had another quick (Milnes was it) who bowled very few overs, was he carrying a knock?Having Woakes and Stone both missing is a blow to the attack.

He should still have caught them though!

They contacted a few sports organisations about developing versions of the tech for the sports (for sports where there's a fair amount of standing around outside) and the ICC was one of them. ONE idea was to have cricket whites with heating elements on the knees/thighs (insulated from inside) so the close catchers could rest their hands on them and avoid cold fingers to improve catching in cold conditions, apparently they refused to even discuss it.I know that's not relevant but I always think about it when I watch county cricket at this time of year and see fielders with their hands in their pockets.

Not a good start to the first innings! I'm surprised Lamb wasn't included? Or is he injured? So many players missing already!
