Shocking decision but I just hope Bairstow proves us wrong.

He was good at sledging in the last game!...

Sledging is always a bit of a slippery slope if you ask me.

There was some cool runnings between the wickets in his innings.

England Ladies level their series against the Aussies, well done to them!

Yes well done lets hope they can win the series, not sure they will produce as 'The Ashes' mind.

I have really enjoyed the Womens Ashes so far. Went to the Test at Trent Bridge and have been watching the limited overs stuff. Tonight reminded me of 50 over matches at Trent Bridge on Sundays in the 90's where 250 is a decent score and boundaries are way harder to come by. Makes for a good watch.

A classic example.

I hope England haven't replaced Robinson with Anderson, as a last hurrah at his home ground. I know Robinson was injured in the last test, and although now considered fit, the last thing you want is to lose a bowler mid game. If Robinson can stay fit over the coming years, I think he can go on to have a notable Test career.
Pleased to see Moeen in the problematical number three slot, not ideal, but far better to have Brook at number five, where he can play with his natural flair and aggression.
In such a crucial Test, it looks like the Manchester weather could play a big part, which is a shame.

I hope Tongue comes in to give the Aussies a good er pasting.

Will Bairstow still be stealing a place I wonder.
