Hope we play Ash but most likely we wont. It could well be like the best 8-11 Vs the worst 8-11 ever.

 

[harsh.ag]

The England XI looks undecided. Crawley and Lawrence could be on the chopping block as Pope makes his return. Broad and Anderson are out. Overton and Wood (maybe Saqib) to slot in. Moeen might play as well.

India will probably replace the Lord with Ashwin and Ishant will come in for Siraj, most likely, though Bumrah might get a rest.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Can't rest Bumrah now. Gotta win when the two English octagenarians are out.

More worried about our 3-5.

And Jimmy is injured.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Pope has been released from the squad.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Hearing Jimmy might be playing actually. Clearly he's seen cnerd's weather forecast.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Wet and raining, all the covers on the square, no toss.

 

[Manee]

Wet and raining, all the covers on the square, no toss.

With rain in the air and a clearish forecast, it could be a big toss to win and bowl first.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Start rescheduled to 11:15 weather permitting.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

England bowling first having won the toss.

 

[wpdavid]

Burns, Sibley, Hameed, Root, Bairstow, Buttler, Moeen, Curran, Robinson, Wood and Anderson.

Pretty much what was predicted on CW.

 

[wpdavid]

Pope has been released from the squad.

Injured or not needed? Delighted if it's the latter. How quickly can they get him up to Derbyshire?

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Sharma not Ashwin in for India.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Injured or not needed? Delighted if it's the latter.

The latter. He's off to play for Surrey.
