Burns played a few nice shots.

Holder gets quite a bit of bounce doesn't he? I could see him being effective in Australia if he gets his lengths right (and that's a big if- if he doesn't he'll be extremely hittable at his place.

Big question for me is whether Archer will have a go to mark the first test of the summer.

Holder only went at 3.05 an over in 15/16 when the next best was Name Braithwaite's 3.77.

I've just checked to confirm my impressions and that series was in fact the worst ever bowling series by a touring side here. The economy rates are brutal, K Braithwaite 4.29, Warrican 4.94, Taylor 5.59, Gabriel 5.90 and Roach 6.02. Only 12 wickets in two and a bit tests.

Once again it must be observed that Holder's head is too small for his shoulders. Granted, they are a pretty big set of shoulders.

Haha, I didn't see any of yesterday's play so was wondering what it was gonna be like watching with no crowds.........tuning in has reminded me of test matches in the UAE.

Typical Gabriel no-ball. He doesn't do it by halves.

Be interested to see what kind of pace he can work up here. Last one was 91.1.

He had a slyly decent Ashes last year in a series where everyone not named Smith struggled to make consistent runs. I also think he's a bit better than his returns so far suggest.

He did, and I think he’ll do alright in this series and he’ll do an ok job and holding this position while we develop and figure out who the next long-term option is. He’s being rewarded for not having trrrible series against He will be given time by Ed Smith for obvious reasons, he’s just never going to be a number three in a top side, not that that’s what England are right now but are certainly aiming to be.
