Second Test: England v South Africa, Nottingham, July 14-18

Let's see if Kuhn can save his place in the side with a better batting performance...a word of advice - cut out the hook shot where you keep taking your eye off the ball.

Root is a rotten judge of a drs !

Oh dear ...that was always going over. Total waste of a review - learned nothing from yesterday.

When things aren't going your way...

[rich1uk]

well thats one of them

[alfie]

One for Jimmy ! Need about four more this evening...

Sunny on Monday. Could be a flat pitch with the sun out.

[rich1uk]

i know he's only had a couple of games but unless Wood does something pretty special in this innings then he is probably going to make way for Woakes for the third test, assuming they dont just see Woakes as a replacement for Dawson to bat at #8

Might be chasing 350 by Monday.

Or they could already be all out for 150 chasing 260

[mikesiva]

Kuhn out for eight...Time for Aidan Markham, surely, in the third Test.

Never keen on picking teams in the middle of a game ; but I'd imagine a fit Woakes would return fairly smartly. And I don't think five seamers is even remotely likely.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Big talking point of the day is sure to be the overs not getting bowled...

[rich1uk]

England looking a bit flat here

[Aidan11]

A SA win keeps the series interesting I suppose.

Woakes a must pick for me but according to Lawrence Booth he is unlikely to be considered for the remainder of the series because there are no red ball county games for him to prove his fitness!

[Arthur Crabtree]

The press are always the last to know.

Not sure if I understand that while someone like wood looks out of sorts at the moment, and the whole double spin option seems to.neither add depth to the batting line up nor give any series options to the attack.

Got to risk it for the biscuit
