England women have stopped their whitewash. Now time for the men to do the same.

Also good luck to Scotland tomorrow against the Netherlands who will qualify for the ODI World Cup if they win.
 
Kind of explains why they are managing the lads workload. Also suffered stress fractures in his back and left foot earlier in his career.



An outstanding debut season in 2017 saw Josh Tongue, then aged just 19, announce himself as one of the outstanding fast bowling prospects in English cricket. Six years later, he duly made his Test debut against Ireland at Lord's, after arriving in the squad as injury cover ahead of the Ashes, and impressing coach Brendon McCullum with his pace, bounce and attitude.

It hadn't been a simple route from A to B, however. One year earlier, Tongue had been midway through a 15-month lay-off that he feared might end his career before it had started. A nerve problem in his right shoulder, called thoracic outlet syndrome, required two surgeries and botox injections to rectify, and left him in a "really dark place". But a successful winter with England Lions in Sri Lanka placed him back on the radar, and paved the way for his call-up.

If Ned get 175 the target is 147 for Scotland to qualify, and for around every 25 more runs Ned get, Scotland can get one less and still win.

If Scotland make 175 Ned have to get it in 44.1 overs to qualify, and lose a ball to hit the target around every 25 runs the Scots score.

I can't see them messing up with that advantage, but it is a 50/50 game.
 
What if the England bowling attack smashes the Aussies in the 3rd test ? does jimmy Anderson come back into the team to play at OT
Great point (question).
Old Trafford is generally quick as well and with the time between tests it'll allow Wood to play in both.
