Both openers will be gone before noon.

Azhar and Babar can play a bit though - they're the key wickets

 

[Gwylan]

So much for that theory ...

 

[LlcoolJ]

Bah! Missed the start. Oh, nothing's happened.

How have we been bowling?

 

[LlcoolJ]

Just seen the recap. Looks like decent bowling and well played by the openers (with the necessary but of luck).

 

[pasty]

Jof strikes

Abid Ali b Archer 16

36/1

 

[CHAPPERS]

Cor what a ball. Nice plan too, push them back and then pitch it up.

 

[pasty]

Boooo. Raining.

Weird. I'm listening to TMS, through the BBC Sounds app, on my phone, and it is currently 34 without loss

Could be highlights form a few years back...they do that.

Azhar Ali lbw b Woakes 0

Bit of a wasted of a review there. He must have known it had hit the pad first surely?

43/2

App feeds always seem to be bit delayed......I listen to internet radio quite a bit and it's always behind DAB. Same with TV coverage - SkyGo app coverage usually 1-2 mins delayed

Hate those type of delays. I remember being on holiday 2 years ago the day we played Fulham at home. The pub I was in had a stream of the game with no sound, but also had Soccer Saturday on another tv with sound. I heard Gross had missed the penalty before I even saw it awarded

This thread is ahead of SkyGo on my Ipad

Be really interesting to see how Babar Azam goes. Hes such a good player but this is a huge test

I'm listening to TMS in the office, not paying enough attention TBH but it is quite therapeutic.

Here's a little poser for you all.

By my reckoning, NINE players have played for England (in any format) this year, whose fathers were themselves, first-class cricketers.

Go...

Go...

Broad
Bairstow
Curran x2
Willey

For a start, need to put my thinking cap on

EDIT: Two sneaky ones:
Jennings
Malan

EDIT Again

Did Reece Topley play? He was in the squad but did he feature?

I'm beginning to struggle with this

Crawley?

All correct (including Topley, who played the second ODI v Ireland)

Jennings was a bit sneaky as he only played a tour game (this year)
