Just back from work in time to see a great Sibley run out, good training that throw. Come on England

Can you think of any?

Sibley's run out prompts a question. When was last time England had a specialist offside fielder like Colin Bland, Jonty Rhodes, Derek Randall? Run saver and wicket taker.

Hard work pays off

Great fielding Sibley. No way he affects that run out this time last year.

He has worked incredibly hard on his fitness - 12kg lost. It’s paying off 💪 🏏
