Looking at a chase of 3.60 an over if we bowl them out sharpish. |  |

Ah good, Boult has 16 already. 288 ahead. |  |

A wicket now (new ball just taken) would leave around 4 an over - should be interesting.
Just put a couple of quid on England at 4.8/1. | | | |

We shouldn’t bother chasing it. Our bowling has been awful - especially at Boult. | |

If we lose a couple of early wickets then I expect us to either capitulate or try and hold out for a draw. A positive start, keep wickets in hand (including the crucial ones of Root and Stokes) you never know!
Interesting afternoon ahead. |  | | |

Crawley will be caught in the first 3 overs taking a big drive. | |

You'll bat sensibly until tea ticking over at 2.5-3 an over.
Get to tea at around 120 for 1 or 2 and they'll push on from there.
Stokes is not going to be defending - he seems to have forgotten how to. | | | |

12 from first over.
Looks like we're not playing for draw. | |

Oh well - wasn't a big drive, but still entirely predictable. | |

He had 1 run from about 70 balls at Headingley 2019 I think. | | | |

Good call.
Weird one Crawley. Looks imperious when in form (and using his height) and utter pony when not, which seems to be most of the time. | | | |

Ta.
I don't blame him for wanting to positively up the tempo for England as an overall strategy though, as long as it's done judiciously. | |

To be fair, Crawley would have gone with or without my influence.
Hard to see how I keeps his place for next test. It's not even like his form in the CC was much cop. | |

I’m still giving Crawley that 3rd test, but I’d be on the phone to Ben Compton and telling him keep scoring those runs on the county circuit. | |

Don't really see why he's still getting chances. His Test career mirrors his first class one... average around 30, and a hundred every 20 innings.
I don't see this as a transition phase. he's just not that good. | |

Yeah I know 
All the same, how about a good long lunch starting now & incorporating several beers?! | |

Not for me.... I see nothing that suggests he is test quality... I'd bring Compton in whilst he's in form. | |

fun fact:
James Anderson has now taken as many Test wickets since turning thirty (383) as Ian Botham took during his entire Test career.

I respectfully disagree. There have been innings where he has shown he’s test quality, but even Crawley must be thinking it could be last chance saloon for the time being. Like I said, I’d still give him that final test at Headingley and see how he responds. If he doesn’t, then we’ve got our answer. | |
