Isnt there a second round pool pick for sides who didnt get who they wanted,?
Not sure. There is plenty of England interest this year, Archer, Buttler, Stokes, Morgan, Bairstow, Sam Curran, Jordan and Woakes all retained by their franchises. Not sure when it gets underway.
Here we go, 3rd test v India and itās a day nighter
England won the toss and chose to bat!!
First over and Ishant has the ball moving around alreadyā¦
Sibley gone for a duck from 6 balls faced, India have been bowling very well.
Outside edge to 2nd slip

Bairstow gone LBW for a 
, he reviewed it thinking heād got an edge but he hadnāt and he was plumb playing all around a straight one.
27-2

Crawley survives an LBW review, given not out on the field, India review and he survives with Umpireās call, it was just clipping the bails according to ball tracker.

That ball that did Pope!! Nuts
Now Stokes has gone, Axar gets him LBW, reviewed and given out on Umpireās call.

Great to see Jofra in at 8. 3 places too high, but as none of our batsmen can play spin, we might as well play 10 bowlers next week.
93-7. All bowled ok lbw bar one. Note: bowl at stumps
Strangely itās the balls that donāt spin that are doing our playersā¦
100 up, shame itās for 8 wickets downā¦
