First Day At The Wanderers.

You wait an eternity for a promising, new, young England batsman - and then suddenly, like buses, three turn up at once.
Sibley was appalling in New Zealand but learned the lessons of the experience and has rapidly morphed into a quality batsman.

Zak Crawley.

Zak Crawley has seized the chance he was not really expecting to get on this tour and Pope looks as if he is bedding himself into the side for the next decade.
There will be ups and downs for this trio over the next year or two but all look set to stay, IMHO.
We have a further bonus with Pope as the best short leg fielder since James Taylor's heart problems saw his departure from playing to selecting.
Crawley and Sibley became the first England openers to have a century stand in three years. 
At the tea interval, England were 107 without loss. Fifty runs on and England were four down!
Root and Pope steadied the ship to leave England just short of 200 but needing to post four hundred on a fast track on which good batsmen should score runs aplenty.
