I suspect this is influenced by their no. 11 Archie Bailey being a 19year old who's never played a first class match before.
Which incidentally, makes the wicket he just took his first, so well done him.

I am NEVER wrong on these things. Except when I am.I suspect this is influenced by their no. 11 Archie Bailey being a 19year old who's never played a first class match before.

I wonder what the powers that be think about that. Just giving up possible runs because you're protecting a debutant? Seems slightly off at this level.I suspect this is influenced by their no. 11 Archie Bailey being a 19year old who's never played a first class match before.

Another couple of wickets before the close would be most welcome...
I think under Stokes England pretty regularly declared without bothering to get Anderson out to bat. I don't see it as being that unusual, there's all sorts of reasons you might not want to expose your number 11 to the bowling. It's not even clear that's the reason in this case, there could be something more tactical or more mundane behind it.
