[Insert comment about selecting the best wicket keeper] Following the commentary this morning, there was quite a number of 4 byes and 4 leg byes, which made me think that he wasn't reading the spinners very well, but having watched the highlights, I see that he was stood really close to the wicket.

Jadeja looked to have done his hamstring in the process of being run out by Stokes, so I'm not too surprised by that. I wonder whether Leech will be fit enough to play by Friday - he was clearly struggling.
