Bracewell looking far more threatening than Leach did.

I just think Bairstow has played very little red ball this season where as Brook is continually hitting runs.
I don’t dislike Bairstow btw.

Nor I, as he’s another player who has been shuttled up and down the order in his time and given different tasks. Brook is a decade younger, though, so it’s maybe time for a changing of the guard.

Played Joe, he’s in some form.

Entertaining stuff from Stokes, sure. Was that really a captain's innings, frankly? I mean, was it what the situation called for? I would say not.

I get the impression Stokes captaincy will be one of going all out to win and die trying.

292 all out in Ladywood.

I miss Holding. He could read the telephone directory, and make it sound interesting

It's mad how Sky have lost Warne, Holding, Bumble and Key from the commentary box in one off season.

I didn’t know Mark Butcher was Miss Bum Bum

But you hoped...

 

[Don Karleone]

Did better than I thought so pretty happy with that

Over a 1000 runs in three days for 15, Pope and Root will be buying the groundsman and his team a round I would hope.

Hopefully end up with a lead here.
