Stokes officially is the new test captain. I suppose there wasn't really an alternative.

Be interesting in Stokes method of captaincy! Isn’t it like June before we play our first test of the summer?

Two wins out of two - great start and some impressive form from Bohannon, Croft and Vilas.
Nice to see Jimmy turning his arm over too.

Off to a great start at Hampshire taken five wickets already.

Wonder who will be England captain for the second half of the summer when Stokes has burnt out.

So a homophobic New Zealander is England's new captain.... You couldn't make it up :)

Don’t care, just don’t call up any Lancashire players.

Must agree with you there. Picking our best players as Captain ? All rounder too that’s some pressure.

Especially one with a history of not coping with loads of cricket.

Maybe Root will be back as interim captain!

There aren’t that many that will be.

Anderson is more of a token Lanky these days. Mahmood and maybe Parkinson too, although Parkinson hasn’t made the Lancs team for the current 4 day game.

Latest day 1 of 4 Hampshire 48/5 great start Lancs.
