Roy and Overton dropped for Woakes and Curran. Stokes playing as a specialist batsman as expected

I agree with your team but I think there is room for an argument over Archers inclusion. The one England bowler to have caused the best batsman in the series problems

I hate to disappoint but I highly doubt Gayfield will be packed. The fact this is a Friday 7.05pm kick off, it's on free to air TV and we're stinking the place out mean it won't be a big travelling support

He was reading the sports news on radio 4 the other day. Botham leaving sky as well apparently

Wasn't there yesterday but from the Montrose highlights Sena seemed to be playing much further forward than someone who played centre half in the juniors?

Would think it unlikely that Ineos would be signing Pogacar in the short term. He's tied as Kiddy said to a longish deal at UAE and Ineos already have Carapaz, Bernal and Sivakov as GT leaders for the next few years. Plus Ineos/Sky, whether you like them or not have been brilliant at picking young prospects. They were after Evanepoel but he, probably correctly, decided he could advance his career quicker at DQS

There's a possibility that Ineos will take their leader from the giro as a super domestique to the tour and so on. Froome be 35 next May so will probably only be targeting the tour once again. Bernal or Thomas to target the Giro and carapaz the vuelta?

Was away all weekend and just got round to watching the highlights, terrific ride (what we saw of it) from Pogacar. Can't see Lopez making up the lost time from his crash unless he has a crazy day as agree Roglic should take huge chunks of time out of Lopez and Quintana in the time trial, I'd expect him to take at least a minute on Lopez, Quintana can time trial but this is a specialist's route. Already looking forward to the monumental stage on Friday to Los Machucos

If the team keep turning out results like recently then Gerry won't have to worry about the fans singing any songs

Anderson ruled out the remainder of the series

Was the budinauskas on the bench for rangers tonight any relation of Kevin anyone know?

First summit finish tomorrow and first chance to see who is in decent form. Could be one for one of the main Colombians, quintana, chaves and Lopez

It's quite simple. Roy and Buttler are in the team as front line batsmen. Woakes is in as a bowling all rounder. They need to make space for their best bowler so why drop a batsman? Not saying I agree with any of that but there's virtually no chance England will drop a batsman for a bowler.

I think for England if Anderson is fit, he plays. Woakes would be the one I would expect to miss out and maybe Buttler as well. Bringing in Sibley or similar means you can move Roy to 3, Root to 4 (where he should be) and Denly to 5. On current form with Stokes and Bairstow still to come that is a stronger batting line up. Can't see Curran getting back in the side as although he's decent with the bat he's not got enough about his bowling to justify inclusion.

And people say test cricket is dead. Lost for words. Beyond brilliant.

Is there some kind of defensive curse on the WDE? We've been utterly shite this half, fair play to Morton

Very attacking line up that from thistle. As an aside, morton, £15 concession for a game on free TV is madness.

A very English collapse. Assisted by some excellent bowling from Cummings and Hazelwood

Yup Warne said before they went to TV umpire it was slipping down. Was only when you saw the slow mo it looked like a decent review

Root used his reviews brilliantly today. Labuschagne could quickly run out of partners here

And been added to the squad as cover

So what's everyone thinking about la vuelta? Really stacked field. Carapaz and Roglic the favourites but I just have an inkling that poels might do something. Has looked undercooked all season and could be a good outside bet

Jason Roy now a doubt as well with concussion. If he can't play, surely an opportunity to play Sibley or an other? Australia will likely be fragile without Smith and they could thrive without the added pressure

Confirmed that Smith will miss the 3rd test

Elsewhere Scotland currently 108 for 3 with 19 overs remaining against Oman.
