England win the toss and bat. Jennings surely playing for his Ashes spot today.

Philander is out too. Given it's been a bit wet in Manchester that may help too.

I'm wondering if the decision to bat would have been as straight forward had Philander been available. He'd have loved the cloud cover.

Probably. The last two Tests have been won by batting through less than favourable conditions, don't see why Root would change that approach.

Philander being out greatly improves our chances of winning.

Alan Shearer gets paid £450k a year for analysis like that.

Joe Root will be busy when he first gets to the crease & Morne Morel will go round the wicket to the left handers etc...

Where's my money?

Decent morning, the inevitable early wicket aside. I've not seen any but sounded like hard work batting early on.

General rule in test cricket is always bat first unless of course the pitch is green and it's so humid that steam is rising from it then maybe just maybe bowl!

Sounds like England are learning at last leave the good balls and punish the bad balls. Hopefully get a nice big first innings score and let scoreboard pressure tell.

Well this is a new one. See off the new ball. Wait till the sun comes out then lose 2 quick wickets.

We've really made hard work of today having got through the first session really well. Need a big partnership from these two as anything less than 350 is going to be short.

Quick outfield and anything past the fielders is going for four. 200/5.

260/6.

I reckon that Stokes wicket with an over to go gives South Africa a chance of getting England or cheaply. First session tomorrow will be important.

Sounds as if it's been a good hard day of test cricket today.

Did we have anyone up there in Manchester?
