    The Juxtaposition of being 2-1 down or two dead rubbers is such a dichotomy that it really is triumph or Disaster.

    IMO
    If Stokes can bowl… Foakes for Robinson and Bairstow bats at 3

    If Stokes can’t bowl, Foakes for Bairstow or Ali and whoever gets the nod to play bats at 3

    Brook has to be the best cricketer with the middle name Cherrington ever

    Is putting an out of form bairstow up the order a good idea?

    It’s not perfect but I think it’s the best we’ve got. Root’s best spot is 4, Brook’s is 5 and Stokes’ is 6. I wouldn’t want to move any of them around.

    Either Bairstow bats 7 as wicketkeeper or he goes up the order.

    My fault chaps.

    When we got to just needing 24 I thought we were home & hosed.

    I'm anxious watching this. The last time I felt like this was probably the 50 World Cup.

    I don't think that it's in Mark Wood's nature to leave us wondering

    Big six from Mark Wood takes it down from 18 to 12
