Roy’s going to have to get cracking if he’s going to knock this deficit off before stumps.

I mean this is the most wickets in an opening day at Lords ever

#111

Yeah, but they’d have the same number of overs regardless of venue

CC games get through 96 overs a day without issue, and they have similar numbers of wickets fall regularly

#112

Has anyone been out twice in one day on their test debut before?

#113

Woakes to open, surely?

Sure the memory of hammering Australia on the way to World Cup glory is still keeping him very happy :wink:

I see they’re discussing Woakes as an opener on TMS now.

Good to see one of the opener’s spots finally getting nailed down…

A batsman who’s struggling with the bat but is bowling really good spin
A spin bowler who’s struggling with the ball but doing a decent job opening the batting
An opening batsman who might struggle in the first ten overs but does a great job unexpectedly coming in at 3

Gets you to an opener, a spinner, and a number 3?

Not the opener, spinner and number 3 that we wanted, but the opener, spinner and number 3 that we deserve.
