Just seen Denly's ATG drop, on the news.

No such thing as an easy catch they say.

Apart from that one.

Denly has shelled countless catches in the team, so why was it him fielding in a shortish position that clearly isnt saving a single, in this test? .

Stokes shelled a few as well though, he's usually pretty solid in the field. Tired and lacking concentration, perhaps?

Guardian player ratings.

Broad: 'A second test hundred continues to elude him'.

Unbelievable that once he was a number 8 and close to being considered a bowling all-rounder. That hundred he scored will always have an asterisk against it, sadly, but he has 12 test fifties and a batting average that was approaching 30 at one point.

Now he's a walking wicket.
