If you are picking purely on batting, you go with Salt at the moment. Livingstone still has a bit to prove with the bat for me. Ali, Rashid, Woakes (Willey), Curran, Topley, Woods (Jordan) is more than enough However, either option would be better right now than Ben

Moeen Ali - what a striker of the ball he is. England going well here

He doesn’t start in the XI right now. It’s unfair on salt (in particular)

Stokes needs a few runs here

No doubt he has had / probably still has issues, but he is very quick to use it as a defence for some of the bad things he has been accused of. I know of someone who worked for him at the DC Foundation, and they were promised a quick return on investment like some of the younger players he is accused of taking wages from. That requires a calculated mind and dismissing it due to his own mental health problems shows a total disregard for the people effected. Add to that the misinformation he seems very keen to put out there - The bloke is a piece of work.

Brown envelope to Michael Masi took them over budget

Keep the faith - it wasnt that long ago, before the Queen died and the international break that we were playing really well. That extended break negatively effected us

You have to question the defensive coaching. Players just looking at the ball. Shite

You won’t get many arguments against that but does Liam Livingstone deserve a start? Harsh on Salt who has played well. Having salt in could also relieve the pressure on JB and allow him to focus on batting.

This game is done

Christ. Alf Garnett - racist “humour”. In the bin

Barton playing a blinder isn’t he? Giving them hope and delivering disaster. Fantastic

Good series to watch though (apart from the ads). Two very even teams

The Harry Brooks innings was fantastic. The lad is playing himself into the team for the World Cup

His technique is superb

Hales and Salt looking like a really good combo to open. EDIT : kiss of death that comment

All the ballots for tickets for the ashes are open

Well Played a new look England. Great bowling the last 10 in the Pakistan innings and well played Hales and Brook. Decent result although the cheesy advertising during the coverage was ****

My two are teenagers now but they used to love Millennium square and all the water to splash around in. Loads of places to go to eat in the area too. Take a change of clothes though and mind the Chavs

He felt like most of us did - we could have won that game and played really well. He knows he has a good team now

Goal of the season for them last night. Cracking team goal

I always park at Westfield and get on the underground. Best of luck - it will be heaving

Enjoyed that. Very good performance from the lads and on another night we could have easily won. Don’t be too harsh on them.

Come on boys - get a draw / win and this will be a huge result

Christ. Unjust or what
