2 quick boundaries for Leach show intent of slinging the bat and if there is a wicket then we get twenty minutes at their openers before lunch. This pair hanging around only becomes invaluable if it is for over another hour of play and we get the short burst before tea!

Leach gone 8

Short burst before lunch. Perfect.

Foakes has a stiff back so Bairstow takes the gloves

Leach on second up

Just to get the overs in before the break really

Amazing how people will bemoan some of the actions of players who have played well above the level expected of them. There's no pleasing some people.

Was this aimed at me?

Root drops an easy chance off Latham

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Foakes out of the match with the Rona, Billings replaces him.

 

[Sniffer]

I’m not up with the covid replacement rules. Will Billings be allowed to bat?

 

[Tony Towner]

Assuming it's the same as in County Cricket then yes.

 

[Tony Towner]

Who replaces him? He’s not really an opening batsman anyway and we don’t seem to have any coming through, Rob Yates is worth a look according to my mate but I don’t watch a lot of county games.

Now dropped

 

[WsWolf]

[Carrotdude]
