The England test team needs a overhaul, like the ODI side after the 2015 WC and a bit like the England football team after Euro 2016 and when Southgate was in charge.

The batting simply hasn't been good enough for ages now, we have got new exciting talent in Jofra, and plenty of talented players, but the majority of them are constantly scoring low and a lot are out of form including our captain and it's not the first time this year we've failed to get to 100, wasn't long ago we couldn't even get over 100 vs Ireland.

It’s a structural issue, no commitment to proper cricket and we’ve been found out; totally pissed off.

Happy to sell my day 1 tickets at OT

It's not a money issue. Not so long back England were batting and bowling well.

Perhaps just a shortage of decent top order players that will rectify itself in a few years.

Maybe a bit too much emphasis on one day stuff.

Playing county championship matches either end of the season isnt helping for sure.

Well, have got two and two thirds of a third bat to score the necessary runs to keep the  Ashes alive.

 

Not a bastard chance.

Bookies have us at 5/1, seems a bit tight.

This would be a legendary win

Bowlers done well again this morning.

Require the second highest ever test run chase at headingley to win.

Virtually impossible, considering what we've seen so far, but it's only a third day wicket, and sunny/warm. Pitch should do a little less for the seamers, and atmosphere reduce swing.

Records are there to be broken- tmgj bringing positive attitude on a Saturday afternoon.

All the time in the world; just bat.

 

And pray.
