Finn replaces Wood in England squad. TRJ to debut.
Therefore I expect Dawson to keep his place, to avoid 3 debutants.

Oh goody, Finn's back in contention. Sums up the state of things rather. They can shift around any number of players, but unfortunately it's more a mindset thing at this point.
Still, Westley's on dayboo, so he should score at least a fifty.

Most of the chatter in the comments is about how rubbish the redesign is! Get the feeling the English commentators are a bit more willing to publish critical comments than some of the others.

The England openers roundabout continues on its merry way... Ballance to open?

Philander to Jennings in this series; 23 balls he has bowled to him, Jennings has scored two runs and been out three times.
Says quite a lot, really.

Good to see Jennings back to his old self. After one good season, back to normality. Test average of 23.44. Even in his ton he was dropped on zero. If that had been taken he'd have 99 career runs at 11.00 - bit unfair I know, but not convinced taking him to the Ashes will end well.

If he doesn't get a fifty in the next three innings that won't be an issue... Meanwhile the great strike bowler, Lunch, does for Westley, and Root's going at a run a ball. Same old.

Feels like Cook's going to get out before reaching 100... Hope I'm wrong.

Agnew's just said 'semi long-on' and Vaughan is cracking up.
