England name an unchanged squad for the next test, so no Foakes.

Unlike his missed opportunities, Bairstow is undroppable along with Crawley.
Of course there is a fine line between backing your players and running a closed book on selection but, this is definitely the latter.
I just hope Bairstow repays the faith because looking at his current form it is just that and perhaps that faith falls in the ‘blind’ category.

Bairstow lucky to keep his place he’s offered nothing with the bat his keeping has been poor, big performance expected from him.

Stokes has made a big mistake in putting the Aussies in to bat.

I hope I am wrong but they will score enough today to not lose the game..

It's overcast, they had to choose to bowl.

Khawaja out as I type.

One down, nine to go.

With bad weather forecast we had to give ourselves as much time as possible to bowl them out twice so made sense to put them in.

Ignoring the context of the series it will look a bad decision on the surface of it (pun intended) at times when it’s not doing anything. But with the weather being interchangeable at OT that can soon change.
But, in the context of the series I don’t think Stokes had any choice irrespective of history saying otherwise.
It’s all a bit flat at the minute-we could do with a bit of aggression from Wood to get the crowd and players up.

Very untidy and sloppy so far behind the stumps unfortunately!

Commentators said it was a tricky one because the ball is wobbling but that was being very kind. It was a regulation one, if he’d dropped that he should’nt be keeping in village cricket
