So who comes into the reckoning who hasnt been tried and discarded?

Could Pope come in at No 3.

2-2 covers the fact of how s..t our batting was in general and now time to rethink and plan for the winter tour.

Only 1 to go.

Perhaps time for Curran or Woakes to step up or even a couple of overs from Stokes if he is able.

Great break through 1 down 1 to go.

All we have to do is get these two out, but what a task.

Overcome that little test ok so all wickets intact for tomorrow.

How many overs left today?

You can just see the last 2 wickets taking them past our total.

At least we should be able to get a 1st innings lead with Smith gone.

Smith passed 50 so another century on its way.

Now 9 x 4 out of 42

Labusagne doesnt believe in running does he as he has 7 x 4 out of his 32 runs.

Remove these 2 and we stand a chance but!!

Didnt I read that Thorpe is now the batting coach, which doesnt do his CV much good. I read that Jonathan Trott is doing his badges and said some encouraging things about the approach to building an innings as opposed to 20/20 so perhaps he will be considered for the post.

I am not disputing Smiths ranking but many have said on here that Root is 4th best in which case there is a tremendous gap between 3rd and 4th.

Who is taking over from Trevor Bayliss when he goes? Should we look at perhaps Atherton, Vaughan or Stauuss?

I know that it seems I am having a go at Root again but yet again he gets to 50 but cant go on to a big score perhaps he should watch Smith to see how it is done.

I agree but Curran is an extra bowler. Are you saying drop both Bairstow and Buttler? Do we pick a team to win this test or plan for the future?
