What is par here? 250?

England's lopsided balance messes with the par score a fair bit, so no idea really. I don't think there's been much movement so far but that's likely because England aren't playing the attack to get it.

Well quite. I can only think that he prefers at least one of the quicks to be able to hold a bat with some confidence, so Jordan and Overton are only there as cover if Finn or Rankin gets injured. But going in with this sort of attack is just asking for trouble, and i don't remember a bowler who can bat a bit doing anything significant runs-wise very often, so we're really better off finding someone reasonable from the counties. Surely there's someone out there?

Good wicket for Ravi there btw. I think this is the stage where batsmen tend to fancy their chances against him. A a 6th bowler, he's an asset. Less so as the 5th one.

Jordan's not a total mug with the willow. Has an FC average in excess of 20.

Still think there's an element of "spiting the Windies" about his selection.

Agree about Ravinder tho; bowling pretty well here to be fair to him, but kinda a victim of his own success; gone well as a part-timer, so gets trusted with a full compliment, which isn't really his go.

250 would be a winning score, I'd think; I'd say 225-240 more like par.

Botham talking plop non-shocker.

How is it a "shocker" if Hawkeye has it clipping the stumps. I'd accept "marginal", but no way a howler.

Bailey in the top-6 = yay, another guy who excels at scoring 40-80 in long-form cricket.

You know Tredwell's in trouble when Root is seen as a safer option by his captain.

It was probably part of the plan to begin with have Root bowl a bit, given the lack of specialists. But yes, when you've only got three specialists then one can't be allowed to disappear.
