Should work his way up from 11 imo. His highest score must still be about 23, bad average id imagine.

He's a strike bowler so his batting is largely irrelevant. But he can't bat.

With this England batting line up, none of the bowlers' batting is irrelevant ha
Yet they think they can drop a batsman. A bowler has to be left out next week.

I know he got a duck, but we scored 469 woth Crawley at 3!in the 2nd test v wi in what was our best first innings at home for years.
... They ripped it up in the 3rd test which seemed to be based on the weather, but i don't know why they've stuck with it here. Regardless of how the stokes situation has played out, it was a poor decision and that batting line up is way too short, how did they not see this coming?

Perfectly on queue with my post ha
To be fair if Stokes is fit to bowl then its an easier decision. But they need to pick the best 4 bowlers. I'd probably make 2 changes. A batter for Anderson or Woakes and Curran for Bess.
Its not good to have no spinner but no point picking one who is ineffective. They didnt want to make a tough decision this week.

Said it before, the lack of trust they show in bess they may as well get root to bowl those overs.

The rain, it raineth every day
Thought I'd have a quick glance at England's first innings scores in the first test of a series :
2019 :
against West Indies - 77
against Ireland (only the one test of course) - 85
against South Africa - 181
Of the other two series against Australia and New Zealand, although reasonable scores were posted, both opening tests were Los.
This year, 204 against the West Indies and today, 219. I'm sure they'll take the lessons on board and seek to improve, again.

219 is a poor effort, but it should only be about 50 short, not over a hundred. They allowed Pakistan to get far more than they should on that wicket as well. I think it's a collective problem this week.
Can't win matches dropping this many catches
No need to even come across root
Stokes dropped 16 catches in under 2 years theyve just said on TMS
Only Buttler has close to that many

There could be some thrills tomorrow.
Time to get on a roll
Woakes bowling very well so get Broad on at the other end.
