    Stick with Malan.

    Not entirely convinced Foakes is the answer. His batting form for Surrey has been very poor recently.

    Maybe. But him and silverwood need to ask themselves why so many batters are actually getting worse once they get into the England test setup.

    BT using Mike Hussey for the pitch report. The absolute cheek of him calling 23 degrees chilly :D

    Look how empty the crowd is by Ashes MCG standards. They could have saved some space if they had shut a stand and moved the stewards elsewhere.

    I dpnt think Buttler or Bairstow are the futire of England test cricket wicketkeeping.

    Best suited to imited overs.

    Tough chance but still another drop by Buttler. Getting Smith out for six would have been huge.

    Smith is a lucky sod but England can't get down about it. Just keeping making him play the ball.
