Should be clear by one. Early lunch, add the hour on later. Won't miss much, though I seriously doubt it will take all day anyway, especially with clouds about
Toothless in attack and we need to get Archer up to speed for the Ashes. For Lords i would drop Carse for Archer and Bethel in for Pope. The only reason I say Carse instead of Woakes is for the batting.
Woakes really can't play now. He is just so toothless it loads pressure onto others. The Duke balls hardly swing now at all. They have been made in India for years, but in the last five years or so the quality has slowly declined. Woakes without swing is a non starter. They should try John Turner or Josh Hull. Inexperienced, but that's the way it is these days. County Cricket is a poor prep, so let's have a look.
Talking about poor prep and Duke balls I really don't understand why in County cricket they are using Kookaburra balls in random trials in prep for the Ashes. When the Test side don't use them.
Archer should be nowhere near an England call up. Simply not played enough red ball cricket to be fit enough. send him back to championship cricket to get some overs in the legs before coming back later in the summer.
