Win the toss, bowl, get Broad to repeat "That" spell. Bat til tea, declare, bowl them out cheap again. Knock off the runs on Tuesday when it stops raining. Easy.

2 days lost to rain?
If so it should mean that if Dibble can drop anchor for a 50 in one of our innings we can avoid an innings defeat.

Here's something to mull over while we wait.
Supposing test cricket had a Designated Hitter rule: twelfth man bats instead of the number 11 due to the latter being shite.
Discuss.

I read that as designated Hitler, and was trying to work out who I'd pick.

Greppers, have you been spending your time coming up with silly ideas to make our beautiful game more Septic instead of announcing your Essex England Xi?
Shame on you.

Fetch - it's a tough call between Trump and Bolsanaro.

Crawley out, playing another bowler, Stokes as a Batsman, guaranteed duck for him then.

Designated hitter, not cricket. Baseballesque. No thank you, as much as I like Baseball.

Looks like gone are the days of England going in with 3 bowlers and an occasional bowler as no 4.
They've learned something at least.
Given Woakes is a capable no7, probably the right balance of the side.

Got to bowl them out twice, and with Dibble they probably have more confidence in the batting unit. Decent call, if unlucky on Zak.
Which one is the designated Hitler?
