Get Critchley in to the squad - He helped to capture the wicket of Smith today for 23
To be fair he has just picked up Pujara though!
28 (11.3 overs)
29/2 (3.1 overs)
278/4 (20 overs)

Ed Smith should be sacked.
It's the Bayliss era in a nutshell. We're moving Roy to 4 despite his ODI position opening and his FC position much lower down, we're putting Joe Denly in to open despite him not doing this at FC level for Kent any longer, and we're still going to insist on Joe Root batting at 3 despite all the evidence showing that 4 is his spot, whilst possibly retaining two keepers who are out of form with the bat and replacing them with an all rounder or two...
Then again, Australia are no better. Matt Wade had a ton at Edgbaston to his name: now he's on the verge of being dropped for Mitchell sodding Marsh because there's an unspoken rule with the Aussie selectors that you have to have a Marsh play in every series...
A great knock from Stokes, he was seeing the ball incredibly well (to reverse sweep a bowler of Nathans calibre on a day 4 pitch is an achievement). A great boost for test cricket, which to be honest needs it.
A lucky escape for England with that last plumb LBW (that umpire made some shocking calls), at least the series is still alive
Lets see how then next one goes....
Let's hope we build on that momentum

But out most of Wed so will need to adjust a bit of my schedule
I'm in Sale Premier Inn tonight meeting a mate later and we'll be in the A stands tomorrow. Bring it on!
I'm nervous...always nervous before the match starts
