Indeed he did some excellent work today , DFM. Not easy , all those overs concentrating - and often standing up to the seamers for a bit of extra difficulty. One stumping that wasn't quite out would have been brilliant.
I hope he isn't the casualty of the reshuffle. There isn't an easy way to make room for a fit Jonny ; but I think I'd prefer the more obvious move of replacing Crawley and giving one of the batsmen ( Brook ? Root ? YJB himself ? Even Stokes...) the task of opening even if none of them would claim that as their favourite spot. Guess we will see in June.
