Surely you bring in Foakes and push Bairstow up. I don’t think they will though.
This really is the sensible option, Bairstow has been absolute dross with the gloves! But unfortunately it won’t happen |

Confirmed as that team. I assume they didn't fancy Tongue for back-to-back games, he's had a lot of injury issues. Attack feels more balanced with Wood and Ali, but it's an awful lot of hit and miss batters.

Looks like the Aussies have dropped Green, which is a big call. Mitch Marsh in along with Todd Murphy and Boland back too.

Winning the toss hasn't helped previously, 3rd time lucky hopefully. Bowling first, let's hope for some day one swing.

Pitch looks belting, think this is a "if this is going to do anything, it'll be early on" type choice to bowl first, rather than a 200 par one. As I type, Broad nicks off Warner, lovely stuff. |

God I missed Mark Wood. So much fun. 93mph outswingers, good luck lads.

Wood sending down thunderbolts. He’s been sorely missed

Was sure that was thigh pad until snicko came up! Think it might have been inside edge onto thigh pad through to the keeper. This is so well poised pitch wise - pitch has pace and carry, outfield is lightning. 100/4 sessions are going to be Aus standard... England might be 200/5 off a few! |

Root should have had that. If I was Stokes I'd say something along the lines of 'hey man, next time, rather than drop it, catch it instead.'
That'll encourage him to do better
