Roy and ballance in for away tours only 
There certainly seems to be a lack of flexibility when it comes to the batting in different conditions, a lot is made of our middle order and tail, but their batting averages tell a different story. Bairstow and buttler are excellent players on their day, but they seem to have real hot streaks between long ruts. It's a real shame foakes hasn't found form this year, but would he have scored less than the other two keepers? There have been a few keeper errors in this series I wouldn't expect from him, and some of stumping he's made this season for surrey have been ridiculous! He's also the only England batsman besides root with an average over 40.
Hopefully after I've said that bairstow makes 5 catches and 3 stumpings this morning and a 200 partnership with buttler tomorrow

Agree with you regards Roy funny thing is though he would probably be ok in Oz conditions with a Kookaburra but
with a Dukes in our conditions he will struggle. Even at 4 he will then have to cope with Lyon. Would love to see him get a score though.

Them Curran boys must make a banging cup of tea
Interesting call bringing Overton in for woakes. It weakens the batting and I'm not sure old Trafford is the pitch where his extra height would make the difference. I would have thought s Curran or Gregory would be the more likely replacements.
Hopefully the denly Roy switch works, I just can't see it somehow

Absolutely Mr T, this was the greatest ever match winning innings from Ben Stokes, a nail biting end to a fabulous days cricket. Arise Sir Ben Stokes ! a man who was forced to play one day shots in a test match to put the Aussies in trouble, much respect.

Just carry on batting like this as there are two days left no need to take chances.

Are we going to see a miracle? Just stay in till close tonight then go for the runs tomorrow. A draw is no good, we still won't regain the Ashes. It's a win or nothing. I've got my fingers, legs and arms crossed. It's bloody difficult eating this way but if it means a win I'll take a little bit of soup down my shirt!
