Ah come now, it would be really funny if India won and really funny is my #1 goal for dead rubbers.
Even better if they bring Cookie on and he gets a five-for.

Still don't understand why Root and the England management keep playing Rashid when they don't want to give him a bowl.

Well that's Rashid on the plane. Especially if Rahul made a good face.

11-over spell for Jimmy.
I don’t care if he’s one off top spot, he’ll get other chances. Gerrimoff.

And it’s Sam Curran who’s got the last two wickets. The fresh bowler who pitches it up. Who’da thunk.

Fun end to a good series really. Pleased for Cook and Anderson to get their milestones, would now rest both Broad & Anderson for Sri Lanka but would probably settle for one each for Sri Lanka/Windies.
Lots of interesting selection options and problems still there, but S Curran has really been a pleasant surprise - I thought it was too early for him but he's shown that he has plenty about him (and hopefully shown a few that not every single bowler needs to bowl 85mph to be effective) - challenge will be away from home where Woakes has struggled.
Now, do we pick a horses for courses team for Sri Lanka with good players of spin or do we stick to our 'best possible' team even if it means picking four seamers on pitches that turn so much they'd make the ECB Liaison Officers turn white?
Ed Smith has been hinting a lot about Denly (maybe even over Burns!) despite his numbers not being all that, and Dobell seems to think Joverton & Stone will be in the squad.
