Well Hameed just has to score another 50 plus, Root moves to 3 (for the sake of the team) and Woakes comes back in.

So who is left, Hales or Balance? Stoneman should get the 3 tests though.

I think they're stuck with him for a bit. I'd be quite happy with Moe Stokes Bairstow Woakes at 5678 frankly, but would give Ballance a shot at 5 myself. Dunno where this love for Hales has come from (1 century against Derbyshire chaps!), would rather play Foakes or Northeast or somebody. No concrete answers.

Somebody on Cricinfo has suggested Buttler to open. We've reached Peak Stupid.

To be fair, the one which got Stoneman was a very good ball, Westley....ahem, not sure what was worse, missing the innocuous straight one of the umpire not giving it out when it was smashing into middle and leg!
Windies are shit tho, this test won't last once they bat.

My top score in Div C of the Sheffield Alliance midweek league is 14 not out, my only other innings i was out for a first ball duck charging a 14 year old off the penultimate delivery......fair to say i'm a pretty shit batsman. But, I reckon I could see it out against this attack the way they've bowled since the ball lost a bit....

In other news, what do you think of our chances in the blast Lawrence? Been v strong at home, but reliant on results elsewhere, think we'll fail to make the 1/4s

Another fantastic century for Joe Root.

Who'd be a West Indian, eh? (Or a Gloucs. player - am at the Blast.)
