I would leave it alone for a while. They've transformed from looking like a popgun attack to looking like a wicket might happen every over

Whatever it takes!!!
Jersey # 19 getting Jersey #19 would have been good.

Definitely not imo. 10 overs with this ball plus 30 with the new ball is much better than 40 with the new ball.

A few more overs like this. A rested Bumrah and Lord can have a go before and after Tea

I've changed my mind, it's gone soft and isn't coming on quickly enough to get anyone out. It's possible it's just Root making it look like that however.

Regarding Pope. Was terrible vs spin in the winter. Still fences at a lot of stuff outside the offstump. Terrible record in 3 and 4th innings of the game (avg 15 in 14 innings)-Suspect under pressure.
He's basically a cheap imitation of Ian Bell at this point.
Granted he does have potential and I have no issue with him in the team , but after 20 tests you want more than 'potential' and averaging 32 from a middle order bat. Nothing in his career to this point really suggested that his wicket was more valuable today than the rest of the mediocre players in the side. Hopefully not another Ramprakash/Hick in the making dominating county level but without the ability to cope at the top level.

Yes, but if they moved Moeen again he would once more be the worst treated English cricketer ever or summat, and if he gets dropped here just for being rubbish, that proves this meme.

i want him to reach 200 wickets at least so we have a clear winner for worst bowler to hit 200 wickets
no player has reached it averaging over 35 and he averages 36!

Pope's another one whose game has regressed rather than improved over the last couple of years.
