Who would you have preferred Ali or Rashid!

I prefer Jonny Bairstow in front of Bell or Buttler....

Agreed on Bairstow for Bell. Sadly, Bell's time has come and gone, I think. An average under 30 over the last 12 months. Not good enough.

Selectors will question 2 Glove men in the same XI.

they may want the extra Bowler......and Jonny to Glove !

Jos juss failed at the close of Play : 20something is not good enough for a TEST match...


85.5
Hazlewood to Buttler, fullish, chips it back... straight to mid-on! Oh dear, that's a poor stroke , misbegotten shot from Buttler !!

JC Buttler c Johnson b Hazlewood 27

Ali proved that he was the obvious choice

Well Ali has justified his place in the team so far during this test with both bat and ball and he must feel relieved that the pressure has been ease a little off his shoulders.
