Brook gone - England 4 down.

And now Stokes has gone!

Series win for Pakistan I reckon

 

9 down.

 

36 to win for Pakistan.

Ha'way Leachy laaadddd

 

Pitch for spin. Reckon we’d beat them comfortably in England but that’s it. Weakness in the squad.

 

****e. So predictable

 

My thoughts are a big improvement needed from the batting line-up. Much more intelligence required.
Stokes to prove his fitness with bat and ball.....I wonder if he's physically up to the task.
Happy that Carse is included.Think he could be an important player next year.
Pleased to see Woakes involved too.....a very,very good cricketer.
Hope Stone can introduce some real hostility to the attack,alongside Potts and Atkinson.
When,if ever,will Archer be available?
Finally,I'm sorry to see Smith missing out,I really like him.

 

South Africa 307/2 after day 1 against Bangladesh

 

Robinson is slightly unlucky to be not considered for wicket keeper

 

Thought id read that Smith will be available for the first match. But his parter is due to give birth to their 1st child so will probably miss the last 2 matches. Really like him with the bat though, powerful lad.

 

Think he's been left out altogether mate.

 

I’m really looking forward to the New Zealand series, just wish it was 4 or 5 tests rather than 3.

 

Stokes has had his gaff burgled, wife and kids were in the house at the time....

4 debuts....

 

England 46/1 after 10 overs

 

3 down, Cox gets it all wrong. 86-3

 

Bethel gone now, he was doing canny as well

 

118/4 after 27 overs

West Indies in control at this stage

 

Not getting enough boundaries. Went something like 45 deliveries without one.

 

Feck, Livingstone gone
