FIRST ASHES TEST: Edgbaston

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 could only watch the highlights yesterday. I was a happy man, of course. It's probably a good thing that the resolute Burns played and missed about fifty times. A hundred lead would be excellent.
