Confident as long as Moeen doesn’t bowl again.

Brilliant match, could go either way. I went yesterday and was in the Hollies stand, the atmosphere was superb.

In another world root would be a very capable full time spin bowler. Doing such a great job for us here

He's been the best spin bowler in England as well as the best batsman for a good few years now.

I’m not sure why they seem reluctant to embrace him as a proper all rounder.

Especially with the dilemma they have now.

Play Root, Stokes plus 4 seamers.

He does suffer a little with back issues maybe the reason

I don't think Joe himself wants the pressure, he was always very slow to give himself a bowl when captain apart from that time he was on a fifer in South Africa and bowled about 20 on the spin haha

[hello]

How many overs left?

New ball in 5 then upto 20 but likely to be only the final 15

 

[Claytop]

Hope one of these close ones hits soon.

Tighter than (insert posters name here) getting a round in.

16% chance according to bbc weather

I can't see Australia winning this now - 70 off 19 is a fair amount.

Ffs who said england were lucky ?

 

[Claytop]

Chances coming surely.

That new ball will be flying anywhere.

This post could go either way in the next 90 minutes.

It's a tricky one with the new ball. Could be better to stick with the old one and grind away.
