I was a little disappointed with that list as it indicates no test cricket until August. However I see there is a footnote saying there is a possibility of test cricket against Sri Lanka depending on the scheduling arrangements for the World Test Championship. Let’s hope that works out.

Warm up match between Buttler X1 and Morgan Xi, great little spell from Ollie Stone. If he can stay fit after his back issues he'll be a real asset, more than capable of bowling 90+mph regularly....

The one obvious area of weakness is spin - if Rashid picks up an injury we are in trouble in that department.

Not long now, seems like the line up will be something along the lines of:
Buttler Roy Malan Bairstow Stokes Morgan Ali/Curran Jordan/Curran Archer Rashid Wood

We are bowling first.
Just the one spinner - but two Currans!

Anyone else having sound problems on SKY Sports? Working fine in Glasgow. On the subject of sound problems though, hopefully we will be spared the high pitched whining of Kevin Pietersen on commentary.

Indeed although I’ve got a feeling the equally irritating Pomme Mbangwa will be on commentary duty. Sound is fine now

Tom Curran getting hammered all over the place. Like his attitude but not convinced by his bowling I'll be honest....

What an absolutely patronising twerp Mark Nicholas is. Some of his quotes in the last couple of hours. “don’t worry if you don’t understand it at home” “many of you will never have heard of Rassie Van Der Dussen” “ the reason Curran is bowling predominantly outside off stump is to restrict the opportunity to score on the leg side” “ if you’re wondering why Rashid is bowling Googlies to left handlers it’s because he’s looking for the outside edge”
Don’t like him😏
Anyway, challenging score to chase down, should be interesting

Good to see Jason Roy has got his form back!!

I quite like him - mainly because he never hides. His problem is he seems to be all about variation, mainly slower deliveries. He doesn’t have a good stock ball that he can do his variations off. So batsmen expect his slow deliveries and consequently give him some treatment. He needs to fix this if he is to have a future as a first pick.
