Haven't seen a lot of Jamie Smith. 

Is he a legitimate Keeper, or is he the latest in the long line of "guys who average 40 that we'll stick behind the stumps and call a keeper" England "keepers"?

He’s definitely a keeper and has been touted for England for some time now, but when Foakes isn’t on England duty he keeps for Surrey over Smith. 
 

I’m surprised Ollie Robinson wasn’t given the nod though, averaging 77 and nearly topping the run charts in the Championship this season, also striking at 86 which appears to suggest he can bat in the way Baz and Stokesy want.

Got myself a ticket for Scotland Men vs Oman Men, as part of a short break.  I need the weather to hold. I am looking forward to seeing Forthill.

Ooft. Glamorgan needed 2 from the last over, Mason Crane managed a single on the 5th ball to bring the scores level.

Jamie McIlroy got bat on ball on the final delivery but was caught by James Bracey. All square after 4 days.

For some reason the wicket keeper was only wearing one glove, and essentially caught him bare handed.

Atkinson and Woakes get the nod to play with Anderson for his last Test, they’ve gone for a spinner too. Potts and Pennington missing out.

That attack wouldn’t fill me with confidence against a top side but this Windies lineup has almost zero Test experience in England aside from Brathwaite, Holder and Joseph. Even without Roach though, their pace bowling looks a serious threat.

I'll confess. I'm surprised to see Woakes there. Not cos I don't think he's good enough, just I thought after the rhetoric of looking to build up to the ashes he would be another to miss the cut
