They absolutely deserve it - somewhat surprising to find that the home side gets all of the revenue from it so I'd definitely want to see the ECB at least chuck some money their way. Sky too.

Yeah it's very likely the reason both West Indies and Pakistan agreed to tour here was in the hope that the ECB would return the favor. Jason Holder basically said the only home tests West Indies profit from are England & India touring whereas the rest they breakeven or make a loss.

At this point Woakes and Broad should be seen as our two best bowlers (in English conditions).

Really great bowling today to make up for some comedy fielding. Quite a good chance to be chasing less than 250 now which is very doable.
Edit: So much for my 250 shout.
Edit to my edit: Perhaps not.

Get Buttler out of here, terrible with the gloves Foakes' form with the bat in counties hasn't been great but at the end of the day I prefer when a wicket keeper can actually, you know, keep.

Give Chris Woakes the new ball! Made himself undroppable for any home series imo, and how do you only give him 5 overs with the form he’s in? Also is there any way Anderson isn’t dropped for the second test if Stokes can bowl again?

The looming 600 wickets for Anderson feels like it's gonna hamper our bowling attack for the next few matches. Tbh, even if Stokes isn't fit enough, I'd think about Curran in for him anyway.

Always personally believed you pick your 6 best batsmen with 1 who can bowl a bit, 3 best quicks, best spinners and with the wicketkeeper the best guy with the gloves regardless of how good he is with the bat.

More of a Buttler apologist than most but here he is playing another vital innings for England...
One of the best test matches I’ve ever seen this, hasn’t been a moment where it hasn’t been utterly absorbing.

I haven't even had time to shitpost because this has been so good. Buttler with some really confident batting here, almost makes me wonder if there isn't room for Buttler and Foakes.

Not sure if it was England reining themselves in or Pakistan getting back control but the runs dried up for a while there and I thought that huge six would settle it.
Think theres more to come too

I've completely run out of fingernails to bite during this innings.
