Who does Bairstow come back in for?

Honestly - either Duckett or Crawley as an opener.

 

There's no need to mess with the rest of the order and it fits the style that England currently have.

Incredibly tough one. Two options imo, Bairstow in for Foakes and he keeps, or Bairstow in for Duckett/Crawley and push Brook up to open (which I think he used to do as a youngster). 

 

Personally, I marginally prefer the former, though it's very harsh on Foakes.

Very handy runs by Wood and Robinson.

You can take the Crawley option out of the equation, the bloke is immovable

Thought that as I typed it, although nice to be optimistic

I can’t stand Ian Ward. Asking Brook what are the characteristics of the pitch. When did pitches have characteristics?  Absolute idiot.

He really has stole a living. 

[Osavo]

Removing David Gower as anchor and replacing him with Ian Ward was a terrible decision by Sky.

This is set up nicely hope for a few early wickets

[RowlattsFox]

Horrible delivery to get a wicket but big scalp for Rehan  I'm sure spinners get most of their wickets from their crap balls 

 

Second is a beauty though.

Babar and Rizwan within half an hour for Rehan. Wow.

[StanSP]

And another for Rehan! 

[Corky]

Bowling beautifully before tea.

[Super_horns]

Restricted them well I think .

 

Good bowling by Rehan.

[Corky]

Five for Rehan.

 

Superb.

[StanSP]

5-fer! Amazing

 

[RowlattsFox]

Brilliant. Love to see the smile and swagger.

 

 

[Brainy]

Over tonight

[Sunbury Fox]

Well done, Rehan! Sensational stuff!

 

No doubt Notts or Surrey will have a representative waiting for him in the dressing room with a contract to sign, though.

Unfortunately you're probably right. It's a great day for Rehan and us, but his success means he'll move away sooner rather then later. Anyway congratulations to him,18yrs old playing against opposition who eat spinners for breakfast and he gets 7 wickets on debut. Great stuff. Sad we haven't used him more often.

Proper demoralised this Pakistan team. They don't know what to do.

He signed a contract until 2026. Unless a club side is willing to buy him out, he’s going to be a Leicestershire player for at least another few seasons at least, at which point he’ll hopefully be on a central contract. 
 

County clubs aren’t going to be spending up to half a million pounds to buy out a player who won’t be playing much anyway. 

[Osavo]

Absolutely chuffed for Ahmed, what a talent!

 

Also we've gone off like a rocket chasing this, love this team 

[RowlattsFox]

Confidence flowing. What a shot first ball.
