Well, here we are, back where we started – and closer to having the answer to a question we asked prior to this postseason.

After slipping in his socks in The Oval dressing-room last summer and ruling himself out for three months with a torn left hamstring, Ben Foakes might have been forgiven for thinking a prolonged Test career was not to be. Over the course of three and a half years, before last Thursday, he had played just 11 Tests, all of them abroad, as England threw the gloves between Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow like an undecided suitor. But at Lord’s, Foakes finally got to play a Test at home, and he was quietly excellent. He let just one bye whistle past, organised his slip cordon efficiently, snaffled five catches in typically unobtrusive style, and helped usher England to victory with the bat, happy to play second fiddle to Joe Root. And all this despite an-at-times iffy tour of the West Indies over the winter, a dubious average of 16 in his past eight Tests, plus hints from new Rob Key that he quite fancies Buttler back in the Test team.
