Having registered a quarter century in his first Test innings, Essex’s Tom Westley has doubled that in his second dig, reaching fifty for the first time on cricket’s most demanding stage.
Hopefully this is the start of Westley being England’s regular and consistent number three for at least five or six years. At the age of 28, contrary to some people’s opinions on when batsmen prosper, Westley could yet be a number of years away from peaking.
England are surely not too far away from a declaration as they look to return to winning ways and seize a 2-1 lead with one match to play in the Test series against South Africa. Stay up to date with proceedings @ cricinfo.com…
