Root not in. Feels pointless to me resting someone from a T20.

England packing the side with Hampshire players, the number one T20 side in the country....

Rashids excellence getting Dawson wickets

[Dr Cricket]

have to worry about sri lanka being competitive in the future now especially with their awful domestic set up.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looking at the scorecard, seems like Chandimal's determined to remain not out at stumps.

[Dr Cricket]

Just a matter of time before Ali dropped from the test team for Rashid.

[Arthur Crabtree]

They'll be head to head in India, though likely conditions there won't be replicated that often. Maybe if Rashid does better there he'll overtake Mo. Can't see it happening this summer.

Steady wickets have kept SL in check.

Morgan injures his hand taking a regulation catch.

Reckon rashid might play at the oval or Old trafford.
probably depends on how well Yasir Shah does in the test series but Suspect in two of the test matches england goes with two spinners or Rashid as number 1 spinner and Ali as a batsman.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Used to be that you'd assume England would trip up an attempt to make a low score when chasing, getting tangled up facing the slow bowlers. Don't really have that expectation anymore.

If Buttler opens, does it mean they've gone back to looking for the new Gilchrist rather than the new Dhoni?

[Dr Cricket]

Question have to be asked about moeen ali spot bowling doesn't look that great at the moment and batting is iffy.
Rashid is currently bowling so well and should be the number 1 spinner at the moment.

Nah buttler would still be the dhoni in odi but in T20 he wants to open or bat in the top 3.
nothing wrong with that buttler needs to face the most overs in t20 especially with no hales and root.

Not according to the current T20 Blast table where they languish in last place.
