Jofra Archer is injured again, back this time, he seems a bit of an eggshell, fragile, which is a shame.

I know, it seems strange to have that many on the sick parade, are they expecting too much from the players?

I don't get the impression that other nations' quicks break down quite as much, it certainly is weird.

Brilliant, bring it on GO BEARS!

that rather helped your net run-rate. I thought the mighty Yorkshire did well with their Pear squashing on the opening night, but that rather put it into perspective.

Only the first game though, albeit a great start

First day of the test against NZ today, and I'm looking forward to it, be very interesting to see how Stokes and McCullum freshen things up, although I appreciate it's early doors.

I like NZ, they'd be my "second" national side any day of the week. They play with great style and passion and genuinely seem to enjoy the game without getting roped into all the daft sledging antics, which can be pretty pathetic at times.

Not too sure about having Jimmy and Broad playing. I know they've got the whole talisman thing going for them but we can't keep relying on them forever.

Still fine for a home series, I think. But it's a short term policy.

Not that I'm complaining but damnit Jimmy!

Startling start!

They've had a good morning, apart from Leach injuring himself.
