Warwickshire (not calling them Birmingham ffs) and Lancs looking strong as you’d expect, would be surprised if the winner of this doesn’t come from the southern group though. Somerset setting the early pace I think. 

Was at TB last night. Lancs bowling was exceptional, I know sometimes you see a team skittled for under 100 and think it must be batter error. But the pace from Gleeson and then the combination of spinners absolutely destroyed Notts.

 

I went expecting to be impressed by Lancs batting but it was the bowling I was taken aback by to be honest. 

 

Livingstone is a funny one, looks such a part time bowler but clearly gets the batters to make terrible decisions and picks up plenty of wickets as a result

20,000 tickets unsold for the first day against New Zealand at Lords, 110 quid for a child ticket is disgusting.

Is that right?

 

Must be the highest level.

 

The Lords site says it's from £20-40 for Under 16s but that is only on the Thursday.

I agree generally the prices are expensive for adults but money talks and people still pay it.

Almost the opposite of Yorkshire in that sense, looks a strong bowling attack but the batsmen have dug them out of a hole (and it’s still not been enough!). Khan you’d expect to be on fire but he’s bowled short filth, Thompson also too expensive. Rauf about the only quick who looks any good. Bess/Rashid, average but not too poor. Not convinced on Revis yet this season. 
 

I’m looking forward to seeing Lancashire at Headingley next week. Glad they pummelled Notts.

Decent grab from Bairstow, that.

Watching on TV. It looks like a full house after all. 

[Izzy]

What a start.

 

New manager bounce 

[Voll Blau]

Wicket maiden getting Williamsom at Lord's in your first over in Test cricket. Steady from Potts.

[Bert]

Leach withdrawn from the test due to concussion. Horrible luck for him. Intrigued to see the replacement. Commentators muting both Parky’s 

[Bert]

Fantastic morning so far. Let’s hope we don’t fail with the bat. 

[Chiltern Fox]

Anyone else find broady deeply irritating? 

[StanSP]

Just got in from shopping. 

 

Wow. 

[StanSP]

What a debut from Potts.

Hell of a way to introduce yourself. Go on kid. Wow.

[lanefox]

Should’ve had another , impressive so far

Hopefully we see an instant change in the batting, so we don't have that standard dread you get when Leicestershire have bowled well.

I'd hope not either but given the current situation I don't think it would matter all that much - no matter how England bat they'll be at least slightly ahead of the game and that is given a total horror collapse.

 

When was the last time a team bowled out for around or lower than 60 in the first innings went on to win a Test?

Last I can remember is us beating the Aussies in 2019 having been bowled out for 67 (?)

[Lionator]

Potts bowls like Abbas, line and length, steady and economical. Can see why he’s perfect for the test team. 

[Guest Manini]

This is a throw back to about 2012. What a day so far.

Damn. Crawley was looking in good nic

Surely he heard the nick. I think his instant reaction said it all, then he started contemplating. Good he didn't review!

Think it was the disappointment and just wanted to hear anything to convince him to review because he was going well. 

[StanSP]

Root gone. Didn't expect that. 

[StanSP]

Good fightback from NZ. 

98-5. Root and now Stokes gone.
