Bell has got to go. He comes out to bat looking like a rabbit in the headlights. His slip fielding is not up to standard either. I would give Lythe another chance but Ballance has to go too. Considering we had to bat for 150 overs to save the game, we had four batsmen caught behind flashing at wide balls and a run-out. Why would you play in 20/20 mode?
Cook is captain and also has to take his share of the blame.

I see England are going into the next test with an unballanced batting order.

Fantastic win for Yorkshire today. Bairstow 74 from 51 balls. Now I'm looking forward to going to the Derbyshire match on Monday afternoon. Yorkshire now 34 points clear with a game in hand

As the weather was so bad yesterday decided against going to the Derbyshire game so instead have just ordered a ticket for the game on Monday at Headingley & decided we would make a day of it & are staying at the hotel at the ground. Also looking forward to going to the Fishermans Wife for a meal in the evening.

Great fight back by England, about time they prepared quicker wickets instead of the slow ones that they provided in the first 2 tests.
