    Not a fan of dropping an opener to shoe horn others in. If root is available he should open rather than chucking a sacrificial lamb out there

    Well that’s what happens when you ask a player to come in having not played for a while. How often do we see Root turning out for Yorks and failing? Let’s hope Brook just plays his normal game and gets a quick hundred

    You get to have two world class batters available and produce a green top.

    Agree 100%. Makes you wonder if it’s worth bothering. They seem to fail more often than not in the few games they’re allowed to play.

    Absolutely barmy. Bring in two world class test performers with the bat and produce a pitch like this.

    Wouldn’t mind but it was baking yesterday and Wednesday so they could have sorted it just by mowing it short and leaving it open in the sun - nowhere near as good a forecast for the game in terms of sunshine and temperature either.

    Glad I’m not there. All out by tea time, if not before. Let’s hope the away team bat just as badly

    Yep, all out at tea but a bit of a recovery led by YJB, Tommo and Ben Sears. 205.

    Shocking wicket for a Test ground.

    A typical wait until until the opposition bat, before putting it down to the players. Looks like it's the pitch playing up.

    We've needed some 'results wickets at Headingley- so few wins here on the usual roads.
