    Dropped by Root on 1 and now up to 9. Let's see how many extra runs the latest drop costs us.

    Warner dropped by Pope at 4th slip. Not a good start.

    The opening pair have got away well. It is concerning that England have no front line spin option.

    I believe you are thinking of W.G Grace who said.

    "When you win the toss - bat. If you are in doubt, think about it, then bat. If you have very big doubts, consult a colleague then bat."

    All those years ago (he died in 1915) and maybe he saw Bazball coming he also said.

    "I don't like defensive shots-you can only get threes"

    Warner is starting to take us apart.

    Well done Pope on that easy drop when he was on 20.

    It's weird if England had elected to bat I'd be glued to TMS right now on the BBC website. Never had any time for fielding when I played the game either.

    Ollie Robinson needs to bend his back. He's 6'5" ffs bowling at 75mph.

    This is what I said the other day. Mark Wood should have been playing this test match to offer something different.

    Don't know what's happened to him but last summer he was bowling up to mid 80s and now he's back to where he was when he first came into the England team. On the last tour of Australia he was struggling to get much above 70mph on occasions.
