Hoping England bat first could be carnage and 500 scored in the day

First test of a massive English summer, I'm keen as! Forecast in London looks good for the next four days (it's a four day test match).

Apologies if this has been covered already. This Test against Ireland goes from 1st to 4th June. Doesn't the Test Match Championship start on 6th June, also at Lords. What pitch are they using for the Australia v India game?

WTC is at The Oval starting on 7th

Easier for the ICC to set up their sponsorship deals at The Oval than at Lords apparently...[/quote]Correct, the Oval is the host venue instead of Lords because of commercial agreements as the ICC requires a 'clean' venue for its own sponsers.

Partnership of 216, nice tune up before the first Ashes test for these two.

Only a lazy 175 runs in the first session

Read a stat about Duckett and Simon Doull was talking about it on the boadcast, since his return to the test team while batting he has left the ball eight times in 605 balls. Shows his intent to get bat on ball, maybe the Australian bowlers can exploit that?

He also has the highest score by an English opener since December 2017 (Cook 244* at the MCG).

Duckett gone for 182, 2/365

All the wicket being taken has done is accelerate the scoring

Eng 2/485

Pope 193* off 196

Root 38* off 45

Great batting to watch

2/503 at tea

Pope 197* (scored 100 that session i believe)
Root 52*

Only faced 80 overs

It will be interesting to see how this goes. Cummins and Hazelwood are very strong consistent bowlers. It will be interesting as there has been some talk about the small boundaries and flat pitches.

Flat pitches would remove there advantage of us not handling seaming decks well.

Will be taken out of his hands when Broad knocks him over cheaply in the opening two tests
