3rd test squad...same as Trent Bridge except Jamie Overton is called up for the first time replacing Matty Parkinson. So looks like they are sticking with Leach despite his underwhelming efforts in the series so far. Can't see Overton playing but I suppose Potts could be left out after the last 2 for Overton's extra pace? Overton’s call up could be as cover for Stokes. There isn’t an all-rounder available to replace him so it would have to be a bowler. If Stokes is unavailable they’ll have to drop Leach and go with four quicks with Root having to provide the spin option.

Decent results in the Netherlands ODIs should effectively secure England's place at the WC finals, without the rigmarole of the qualifying tournament, which is probably for the best!

"Mott left Porthill that October, after his 21st birthday, having developed a penchant for Tia Maria and bacon-cheese oatcakes."

I wonder if we’ve ever fielded an 11 without a right arm seam bowler. Today we’ve got three left arm quicks (well slow to medium quick) and three spinners.

I am wondering if Malan is batting to order or just batting how he likes to bat?
Because he is moving along at his usual snails pace leaving the heavy lifting to his much less experienced partner, who, thankfully, is up to the task.

Maybe they just want someone in there at 3 who's a bit steadier and doesn't go out trying to hit the cover off it from ball 1??? These Netherlands bowlers are taking an absolute pummeling today, some massive hits. England looking at 430+?

That latest 6 bought up the 150 partnership, of which Buttler contributed 120. Incredible.

There are going to be stats galore to savour from that innings, but I reckon this is as good as any…

Brilliant to watch history being made first hand. Some of Buttlers batting was out of this world, along side Livingstone it was pure brutality. I've underestimated the Dutch sun so now my arms and legs resemble a fab lolly 🔥 time for a lie down.

These Netherlands bowlers are taking an absolute pummeling today, some massive hits. England looking at 430+? I heard Malan being interviewed on the TMS podcast after that first ODI and he was at pains to point out he was batting under instruction. He mentioned this on at least three occasions. So worth acknowledging that he was batting to orders. That said, while I think it makes sense to have someone anchoring the innings in the first 20 overs or if wickets are tumbling, if we get to 20 overs with just one wicket down the need for an anchor has gone and everyone should be batting in top gear. With Ali at 7, Curran at 8 and Willey at 9 we have frightening depth in our batting. We should use it.

Another painful few moments watching Morgan with the bat in hand.
Morgan has said on many occasions that he will always do what is best for the team. I wonder at what point he will call it a day. He is, and has been for a while, the one weak link in this team. I reckon he should pack it in before the T20 World Cup later this year, but should be part of the squad as a member of the coaching staff.

All three, you imagine, would be in our top 6 so something has to give.

Whether the aforementioned two would be happy with that who knows.

And both have huge amounts to offer in white ball too! We are blessed with some cracking batsmen in limited overs cricket.

This is why I think our best red ball players, messer’s Root and Captain Stokes should seriously think about doing away with it. I guess you’re thinking Root in for Malan and Stokes for Morgan?
