England's Summer Of Cricket against New Zealand and AUSTRALIA!

[Shaggy]

England win the toss and bat.

[RichC]

Shocked that Finn has been dropped for Bresnan especially as this is his home track.

[Chazza]

The slowest finger of death ever.

[Shaggy]

FFS Cook gone for 12. 18-1.

[Vermilion]

bollocks!

[RichC]

Hmmmmm Cook good ball mind.

[Chazza]

Steven Finn @finnysteve
Gutted not to be playing today, off to Brighton it is for me with Middlesex though. Lord's looks beautiful too in this sunshine

[Shaggy]

Cook scratching around for runs lately.

[Chazza]

Time for Trott to drop anchor.

[Shaggy]

How wank must that be for Finn, having to go and play for Middlesex having been in amongst the Ashes.

[Chazza]

Root in trouble here.

[Chazza]

Maybe not, inside edge should save him.

[Chazza]

Bat is nowhere near the pad so can't be that.

[Chazza]

FFS

Root wastes a review. The Golden Boy fails again. Makes the decision to drop Compton, put in Bairstow and move Root to open, in the Ashes look even more ridiculous
