I love an optimist :-)

Out of character for Bairstow to drive wildly at a straight ball and miss it. Oh, no, it's his usual behaviour.
Stokes charging pace seam bowlers again - they've really bought into this lunatic approach, but a first morning at Lords isn't the time for it.

100/5:stokes out last ball before lunch FFS

Bairstow may have been driving without any foot movement, but the ball he got was a brute - fast and straight and hitting middle.
Rain to save England!

177 all out, but at an unfamiliar out-ground which looks like a seamer's paradise. Should chase it down.
