England win the toss and bat.

Roy, Burns, Denly, Root [emoji2398], Bairstow (wk), Moeen, Woakes, S Curran, Leach, Broad, Stone

Only really one Test-proven specialist batsman there, hmmm.
I understand they want to have a look at people but 5 seamers combined with the inexperienced batting? [emoji848]

Only 4 seamers there, I was sent a team yesterday that had Gregory in ahead of Leach which would have made far more sense. Given that Joes Denly & Root (who is a massively underrated bowler) are there to give Mo spin back up, I have no idea why they lengthened the tail by picking him instead.

Looking at the forecast for tomorrow with temperatures predicted to peak at 38, this will be as much a test of the Irish teams mental acuity combined with the physical demands. England are now into the battle hardened players, Root, Bairstow, Ali & Woakes. This is going to be interesting but the Aussies will be watching that top order with undisguised glee.

This looks like some form of mind game directed at the Aussies but I am not really sure what Bairstow is trying to pull there.

Tim Murtagh is just taking the piss now, ordinary First Class batsman can mostly keep him out although he has had a very good career but England are just folding at his mastery of the slope.
