    If Bazball can't win this test against the Aussies it sure as hell isn't going to win many others.

    Bairstow is a liability with bat and gloves and we can't rely on Stokes carrying the batting lineup to make it even close.

    Doesn’t need Bazball from here. Boring batting till the seamers get tired, as they’re not giving the spinner a go.

    Woakes seems to see it differently

    Much better. Woakes scored a 4 off his legs and defended well for 4 balls. Then another 4. Very little risk .

    Dom Bess, 12 wkts div 2. Very steady away.
    Simon Harmer 36 wkts 2nd top div 1, but he's sth african.
    Jack leach has 34 in div 2 but injured.
    The obvious pick would be Rashid if he could be persuaded.

    He's never been the most nimble, but since his Golf accident he is even slower at reacting.

    Shame the Ashes tests next time around are southern heavy.

    Wow. Woakes completely proving me wrong with his batting. Put the hook and pull shot away and played a good innings, albeit with a bit of luck at times.

    Brilliant from Wood as well, thought Brook had blown it with a nothing shot, but no issue with Sir Mark to come in.

    Despite the win Bairstow still needs dropping in my opinion.

    Fabulous game of cricket and the right result this time. I wonder if Jimmy gets recalled for Old Trafford? He’ll be unlucky if he misses out. Serious questions about YJB now. I think his Test days are numbered

    Enjoy

    Not his best knocks for sure, but he's already got the highest score not out of the England players this series.

    Well done england. Alot of good sensible batting with 80 odd needed. Not too many risks and deserved to win.
