I thought the UK was one of the states generally in favour of Turkey joining the EU? Did that change?

Sounded like Wood created quite a few chances early in the day and was rather unlucky.

Overall, it does seems wrong not to have picked one of Broad or Woakes. These are much more their conditions.

Not v impressed by England's bowling. Anderson was ok at the start of the day and Wood got a little unlucky with edges not flying to hand, but the Windies have given the lesson in how to bowl in English conditions, and we're not following it.

It should be a bowler's summer. Don't like Broad's New Look. He's become the bully in The Karate Kid.

Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ.
