First ball 4 ffs

2nd ball England review for a caught behind

[GarlicJam]

de Kock looked so guilty - even though I thought it was ground only.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Atkinson, Willey, Stokes in.

Woakes, Curran, Livingstone out.

No Mo.

[andy]

I like the Atkinson selection him and wood bowling together on this deck should be good fun! Harsh on Livingstone to miss out but it means it's gonna be trial by pace you would think

[mikesiva]

Netherlands 262 all out

Engelbrecht and van Beek with half centuries.

Madushanka 4-49
Rairha 4-50

Good lower order batting.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Great recovery. But looks a vulnerable total.

England starting much better this time.

Lower order batting has taken a hard pruning.

Adil Rashid dosent look in great nick? Looks unwell to me....

[Durhamfootman]

He’s been out injured for a while

[Durhamfootman]

Stokes is back

[andy]

Rashid unwell, topley off the park injured...wheels coming off early...harry brook could be in line for a bowl...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Presume Gentle Ben won't bowl.

[Durhamfootman]

Topley needing root to finish his over. He went off for a bit in the last match, but managed to come back later. Presumably this time he won’t. I guess this is what happens when half your selected squad were already struggling with injuries when you picked them

[andy]

And you drop your 6th bowler who was the best bowler in the last game....

Pace getting tap now ...time for Rashid?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Topley's such a key player that maybe it's worth taking a risk.

If he's replaced, bring in a batter.
