News! Ben Stokes has been spotted bowling this morning in his maroon warm-up top: ”gentle, but moving more freely than yesterday” in the words of Ian Ward.
And a lovely piece on England’s captain fantastic by Taha:

Something to mull over…
No team, including England, has managed to bat 100 overs in the 3rd innings at Old Trafford in the last 23 years...

Preamble
Hello! A wishy-washy but dry dawn at Old Trafford, and if the buzz isn’t quite as buzzy as it was in 2005, there’s definitely a retro vibe in the air. Then Lancs were charging £10 a ticket, this time it’s £25, then England’s biggest immovable object was Ricky Ponting, this time is is the glorious Rahul/Gill double act.
In a game where the new ball has done most of the talking, England will be counting down the 17 overs till they get a shiny and new Kookaburra Dukes. Will Pant bat? Will Stokes bowl? All this and more when play starts at 11am. Do join us!
