So missing stokes, buttler, archer, wood, woakes - pretty much a b team going to be playing - but it is what it is

Pretty sure there is a ODI game the day after one of the Pakistan tests. It's going to be a summer of 2 England Teams I reckon
 
Ben gets his second life. Dropped mid wicket off a drive about belly high.

very lucky

125 for 5

stokes 30

buttler 17

Not a lot of batting after the top 5 there unless Ali gets back to his best, and even then I'd say Gregory at 7 is too high. First class average of 22, I'd hope for better than that at 7.

Gregory is an all rounder and great finisher. 7 is right.

End of the day Willey should be able to bat in the top 6 but tries to smash it to another country whenever he bats in an England shirt.

Didn't look like replicating that for England (no, I'm not writing him off after 5 matches)

My memory might be playing tricks on me but didn't Willey play properly in some of his more recent batting performances? Maybe the penny has dropped.
 
Good shot by buttler for 4 up and over mid wicket cover region

a couple of hours of stokes and buttler would be just the ticket, thank you
 
Full toss 4 more buttler. He barely hit it but whistled for 4
Stokes smacks one away for 4 coming down to roach
