We don't seem like the sort of team to take advantage of 10 men. Hope I'm wrong - a real chance to get a very respectable point.

I agree.

Must now take control.

Can't hit the target today

BOOOM

Take a point all day every day. Tough place to go, very physical side. Worried if Maggers has to start left back.

Welcome back @havanatopia

England have struggled to find an opening partner for Cook so why not give Stoneman a chance?

The Windies arent the  force they once were and England should beat them despite the introduction of the pink ball under lights.

I'll give anyone 300/1 that we don't win the series!! They're really crap.

Mawlan, Ballance , Westley. I'd pick him and Buttler for the Ashes..

Who are you playing 3? Hales 3? He's never played there!

no chance of that happening.

I think we might see

Cook, Stoneman, Westley, Root, Stokes, Bairstow, Ali, Woakes, TRJ, Broad, Anderson for game 1 against WI and go from there

Malan.

Woakesy? Root second spin? How many spinners we gonna wanna play down under?

Hales has hit a run a ball 218 for Notts today to give the selectors a nudge. At the other end of the scale Hameed is channelling his inner Boycott with an unbeaten 69 off almost as many balls as Hales faced for his double hundred. 

He's had his chance opening for England. He's not even opening for Notts! Who do we move out of the middle order for him?

Boo...

Moeen the best second choice spinner in the world eh

Backed the draw at 14/1 this morn...

TRJ i expect.

I agree that should be his replacement, but at what point does it happen? You're not dropping a bloke who's picking up big wickets and scoring a few runs in a series against SA unless the other person was showing stupendous form elsewhere and it's unlikely Woakes will play in the West Indies series?

What depth England have in the batting now Moeen at eight, woakes to come back will bat 9. They cant keep bailing out the top order though.

Who does Woakes replace?

Awesome.

That review on KJ for the LBW was one of the most shocking things I have ever seen

Really good by umpires and ECB allowing a full 20 after the extra 30 mins used

We will be losing overs...

Aiming for 7pm start. Somerset due to arrive 6:20

Confirmed delayed toss - likely delayed start. Shouldn't matter too much as it won't rain so the extra 30 mins can be used for this

Should be a really good game. Shame the wicket is a ******* stinker.

I didn't know that. My buddy got the tickets and I was expecting to be in a temporary stand.

I'm wondering where we'll be now........there's five us so I hope we can all be in same area.

Sit where you want...

What a pointless statement.

Some of the replies on Twitter are funny.
