269-8.

I'm not suggesting he should be retained, and if he is as ineffective at Lord's and England are two down, then they may have to act. However, their culture is to remain loyal to the players that have done so well in the last 18 months, so I just cannot see them changing.

The pitch offered absolutely nothing for him. He’ll deliver like he always does during the series. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s still playing for England next year either.

I'd have replaced Anderson also

For one bad test on a dead pitch?

188 lead,just 2 wickets left.

 

[Gabriel]

Lancashire lead by 200 but only one wicket left.

100 partnership for the 10th wicket anyone ! No i thought not :)

 

[xgorton]

293 all out,they need 208 to win.

 

[Gabriel]

Surrey will chase 208.

Great knock for Bell-Drummond for Kent, 300 not out away to Northamptonshire. Kent's record score was 332 so Bell-Drummond just ran out of partners.

WW got his highest ever First Class score, now Blatherwick follows him and Morley just missed out on beating his.

A Diplodocoidean tail.
