Jofra Archer achieved the remarkable feat of a clean sweep of the back pages this morning, every single one runs a headline & photo on his prowess & how he's going to wreak havoc in the 3rd Test, accompanied, as always with newspaper headlines, by a variety of woeful puns.

And he may well do so, even though Headingley won't be as favourable a pitch for him as Lords, he seems to be the real deal, but God help him if he has a disappointing match, those very same newspapers will be in like a shot to crucify him as a failure. In fact I have a hunch newspapers prefer failure to success, it seems to suit their narrative better.

Meanwhile, delayed start today due to rain, but I believe it's stopped now, so maybe we'll get some play before Lunch. 

11.20 start apparently.

Excellent.

The forecast is iffy for today, sunshine & showers, but fine from tomorrow onwards.

It really would be rather jolly if England could win this one, though their flaky batting needs to improve.

Jofra gets his 5-fer, good work him.

That's all of tomorrow's back pages sorted.

I appreciate that this is test cricket, against a top quality attack. but i worry that Jofra, Broad and co arent good enough to keep digging these clowns with the bat out of trouble

just some awful shots

In Tests this year, a wicket falls every 52.6 balls. That's the lowest figure since 1910.

stat from before this match

Joe Root legacy ton tomorrow to secure his captaincy i fancy.   He really needs to get his head down tomorrow and deliver a 300 ball ton.   Make Boycott proud.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Some of the best days of cricket I’ve seen have been potential nail biters like this. Gotta suck up the risk of losing for the glory of winning! Been on both sides of it....

It is mate, it’s pretty tense but every run is being being cheered, every boundary like someone got their century.......trying not to get too excited as it’s still in the balance.

Is there any point letting umpire's make decisions any more? Must be under 50% this cereal?
