Lot of dot balls in this T20. I didn't think that was how it was played these days. Safe to say that Roy's got some form back? The wicket notwithstanding.

Let's try again...
Test squad announced. Jennings to open, Ballance at 3. Dawson picked as second spinner. TRJ in there as well. No room for Stoneman, or anyone who could be described as a 'proper spinner'.
I don't know what to think.

I would have picked Stoneman over Jennings considering the form he is in. England really like Dawson's temperament, but I don't think he has done anything of note to justify his selection. Nice to see Roland-Jones in the squad, hopefully he gets a chance to play.

Bairstow or Ali at 5?

I would have picked Ali, Matt, but here we are. In the end, it could have gone worse, but absolutely none of the questions about the team have been answered. Jennings a future opener? Ballance any cop at 3? Your query? That Dawson 'thing'? The latter can be excused for giving us no information, indeed it's probably a good thing; the other three remain airborne, drifting towards 'no'.

Busy in here today.......was thinking at lunch yesterday taht my 30 quid on a draw had gone right down the poo pan, but feeling happier about it this morning, a solid 450 for England today I reckon

Dunno Pierre, it is spinning and showing some variable bounce... Then again, it's still Lord's.
Not the greatest start, that.

Over to you Moe... Best for batting on the second day too. Win by an innings is back on.

I'd have Wood at 9. Mind you, Stu does like Lord's.

Bloody cricket.....after Yorks yesterday an England loss here will be an unwelcome blow, topped off by a team dropping out of our Weds eve league which has resulted in me losing 5 of my 14 wickets!!! Gone from 2nd in all 4 leagues to not even top 10 overnight!

One staying a bit low apparently. Most exciting Lord's pitch for a while?
