I didn't put the match on until after tea today so I'm going to take some credit for this as well.

Good lad Crawley always rated you. Lol tbf your comments about him were probably justified, amazing to see a lad that averages about 30 in county do so well internationally.

Been busy all day but intermittently checking the score and just seeing /4 every time has been class. Getting home for a fun final few hours now.
Edit: lol sorry

His average at the top of the order is about 40. He started as a 6, which obviously he isn't, and due to his age didn't have the time to improve his average batting in his natural position. Either way great knock, clearly got bags of technique. Can't see any real weaknesses in his game especially for a big man.

Don’t love whining when we’re 550/6 but a) hurry up lads and b) DECLARE. New test championship means this isn’t a matter of just batting to secure a draw, we want to win this

I didn't expect him to be nearly so polished.

Shame the way the Pakistan series turned out, was the makings of a brilliant series there. Not to get slightly mushy but I’m sure the way the West Indies and Pakistan came over to give us some tests will live long in the memory, hope the ECB make sure we’re over to both for a series ASAP.

Buttler and Malan today was pure eroticism. At this point you could put any number up against us and I would expect us to chase it down.

Imperious innings from Rooty and an impressive debut for Lawrence in my overnight hours. Would love to see Root with the double century after struggling with the bat this year and just add Lawrence to the pile of our increasingly ludicrous batting options.

Do we have that many batting options? Seems like we’re struggling for a good opener still. Also the spin has been poor when Sri Lanka haven’t tried to give wickets away, no doubt their spinners are gonna get a lot of joy.

Feel like we're relying on Root to save us here.

Don’t mind them sticking with Crawley and Sibley, it’s a frustrating watch but they’re inexperienced and need to learn. However I absolutely hate the 5 bowler lineup and always will.

I’m happy with Crawley since he’s shown previous but Sibley just isn’t doing it for me. His role in the team is to just see out the new ball and tire the bowlers for the middle order but he doesn’t have the technique vs spin at all. Just compare to how Dan Lawrence came in and you can see the difference in class. I expect the 5 bowler thing is just cause Stokes isn’t here anyway and should be fixed once he’s back in the side.
