the Prof has Bairstow as capt and a 10fer for Leach. He might be making a late charge from the back

It gives everyone a chance.

Fancy this is going to be a very close finish ! An extraordinary charge from the back by the Prof with his three-man rump of a team will certainly have him rocketing into contention ; but I am thinking Arthur himself might have nicked this one at the death...

Just in case you need any more pressure on the accuracy count , AC

Was going to do this now but Mrs wants main computer for work and a don't feel psychologically mandated to do it on a laptop. So maybe later, maybe tomorrow.

you're supposed to walk towards danger these days, AC. Stokesy and Bazza won't let you into the team if you go all conservative on them

small c obviously.....

Think I'm on for the wooden spoon here.

Thanks injuries, covid and Kane's rather chronic lack of form.

Wooden spoons available for all in the gift shop.

OK, I'm going to give up doing the housework for this...

I'm doing this off the BBC which only has the run out of Lees down to Cool Hand Kane.

Only Alfie and DD have all 5+2 on the pitch for the last game.

Player scores for the last Test.

Leach...338
Bairstow...313/626
Blundell...183
Root...141/282
Broad...132
Southee...129
Williamson...119/238
Pope...117
Potts...113
Boult...102
Latham...86
Crawley...51
Stokes...38/76
Conway...37
Foakes...10

DNP: Brook, de Grandhomme, Patel, Jamieson, Anderson, Henry.

Only I have Foakes and I didn't have a sub for when he was withdrawn.

Queries welcome, but remember I'm keeping my interpretation of the catches bonus until the end of the series. I only noticed one player it impacted though- Bairstow would have got another ten. Or 20 when doubled...

I might finish off later, depends how much I get into my dusting. Otherwise, mañana.

suspense is building.........

The road is long, with many a winding turn. That leads us to who knows where?
