Should have started today’s play at 10am this morning for the benefit of people going to football matches 
Good days graft from most of our batters yesterday. Burns had the rub of the green but showed plenty of grit, pleased for him. I only caught half an hour before lunch and the last hour due to work. Missing the majority of play with the match today.
Buttler should be keeping and batting with freedom at 7. Bairstow should be coming in at 4. I think Denly has pretty much out stayed his welcome, I'd be tempted to give Foakes another go (3 keepers!).
Hopefully we can add at least another hundred, nip a few out with the new ball and Ali, Root and Denly can mop up the rest.
Archer to come in for Jimmy next game which gives more balance to our attack as Woakes is very similar to Anderson. Looking like a good summer.

I’m definitely not hungover. But on the way to Edgbaston now. Will report back on beers (possibly) and crap food (definitely)
Enjoy chunks! Keep reminding the cheating convicts that they know what they are.
Knew I forgot something. Only just remembered the ticketsHave a good day Chunkster. Have you got your sandpaper?

Looks like we had the best batting day pitch wise, and it should be pretty lifeless today. Its to be seen if/how it breaks up towards the end of the test match.

We shall see. I guess he would have anyway with us being a bowler light.

33 years since an England opener made his first test century in an Ashes match...
Any guesses on who it is? No cheating mind
