It would be great to hear what Boycott would have to say.
File under: Things I never thought I 'd hear said about English cricket.

Maybe Alistair Cook could be lulled out of retirement and paired with Jonny Bairstow!

Hopefully a successful opening pair will be unearthed this summer.
Cook and Aggers are doing a great job this week on TMS. Probably my preferred pair from the squad! (although Tuffers is great in small doses)

Root looked gutted! Maybe wishing his openers didn't leave him in the sh*te so often?

... and can England win from here??
Will Leech be inspired by his captain?
Can Anderson score more than a 5fer?
Anything we get in the morning is a bonus, I am less confident on the 2-0 now, tough to call? Been great so far, then India in a week and a bit ^_^

Come on Jimmy! 14 more and he nicks Kumble's third ALL-TIME spot. Can he do it?

Would be some achievement to break up the spinners. Assuming he stays injury free I don't see why he can't.

Batting 4th on this pitch could be tricky.
The lead is over 150 now. Anything over 180 would be a very tough ask.

woo-hoo!

This is the most impressive stat:
"England have their fifth successive win on the road (three in South Africa, two here) – the first time they’ve done that for more than a century."
All my time following test cricket, we've expected to get whipped abroad, so this feels like a real shift. The Ashes should be no problem!!!

I love you, Buttler!

Easy in the end, but it’ll be a different ball game in India.
I still believe they should have their strongest X1 out on the ground but the powers-that-be obviously know better.
