Both of the above are summarisers Lincs.
Ed Smith has done a good job of commentating on TMS for a while now, so its in good hands.

I think Root has to step up to 3 for the sake of the team. Wood's pace will be handy out there but I'd replace him if we need an extra batsman, preferably with Malan.

Stoneman got 131 for Surrey today, hopefully he can build on that and come into the ashes in good form

Agree all that Eggy, except Wood for Rowllaaannnd, pitches there are usually quick and have bounce, Woods's extra pace just gives him the edge for me.

True. But Woods' fitness is a real worry.

Blowers will be missed big time. One of the last real characters. Motson however, I cannot wait for him to be gone. Can't stand him.

Somerset are also doing their bit against Lancs

Gayle starting to run riot in the T20.

A good old fashioned England collapse. Morgan's last 7 scores have an average of about 2, highest is 5.

It is rather lovely seeing Chris Gayle smoking sixes in an ODI again. Shame Root dropped him in the first over but best to get all the rubbish catching out the way before the Ashes...

Bairstow proving yet again what an utter disgrace it was to ever leave him out in the first place. Our selectors are clueless.

I know we won, but why do we keep giving the final over to Stokes against this lot? Its like a personal battle every time we play the W.Indies

He is a joy to watch, he is a beast in that mode, I found myself rather happy Root dropped him strangely!
Bairstow proving yet again, that he is a top cricketer, getting away from his skill set, I enjoy watching him play, he reminds me of a young lad on the park just enjoying his sport.

It's the classic WG Grace line, I'm not out they've come to watch me bat not you bowl. Exactly the same with Gayle. I'd rather watch him smash England all over than nick him off early
