Foakes plays in the last test and we almost certainly win it.

I agree with you! Merely trying to point out that his omission from the second test squad isn’t surprising.

Great means if ali is struggling he be second option! Got the feeling that we won’t play a spinner

Doesn't make any sense to call him up if we don't plan on playing a spinner. He'll be there in case Moeen's cut hasn't healed sufficiently. I still think Wood for Jimmy will be the only change otherwise.

Yeah maybe but they should know Ali scar on his finger will open up again and we know 2nd innings he couldn’t bowl well enough because of it! For me I wouldn’t pick Ali

A good win for Lanky - a win next Friday v Yorks qualifies, and then home to Nhants on the Sunday aft for the final group game. The last game will either be for a QF or a home QF so all to play for.

Given the NRR any No Result should be enough too for QF purposes.

Tammy Beaumont (my favourite) batting like a dream for the England Women.

She and I actually batted together for the Manwood’s cricket team around 2005. She ran me out :(

Only the 8th woman to score a double ton in test cricket, and the first English woman to do so. Looks like she's going to run out of partners before she can break the all time record (242).

*edit* Last one out for 208.

I wouldn’t say the aussies are boring tbh. I think the ashes calls for winning cricket first and foremost. We should have won the last match but now we are well up against it. Anyways bring on Wednesday
