Dom Bess

England spinner Dom Bess will swap Somerset for Yorkshire next season, it was announced on Wednesday.

England's Dom Bess said he wanted to see more "common sense" applied to the question of bad light after a gloomy finish to Sunday's play in the third Test against Pakistan.

England off-spinner Dom Bess has revealed that he had started "hating cricket" after his prolonged stay inside a bio-bubble during the Test tour of India earlier this year.

Either James Anderson or Stuart Broad will have to be dropped for England's scheduled 2021 tour of India, according to former spinner Monty Panesar.

Former paceman Steve Harmison said Dom Bess had been "chucked under the bus" by England after the off-spinner struggled against India during the fourth Test in Ahmedabad on Friday.

Former pacer Steve Harmison wants England to pick off-spinner Moeen Ali for the opening Test of the three-game series against the West Indies beginning at Southampton on July 8.

James Anderson is England's 'Greatest of All Time' (GOAT), said off-spinner Dom Bess after the veteran pacer closed in on an unprecedented 600 Test wickets with just two more to get in the Pakistan second innings.

England off-spinner Dom Bess rated the wicket of India skipper Virat Kohli as one of the best of his burgeoning career and said his team is in a "great seat" after day three of the first Test with the pitch expected to spin more. Bess impressed in his maiden outing on Indian soil as he got the ball to dip and drift, something that worked for him while outfoxing Kohli (11).

Off-spinner Dom Bess claimed five wickets to help bowl out Sri Lanka for 135 and give England the advantage on day one of a Test that took 10 months to start on Thursday. England lost their openers early but skipper Joe Root, on 66, and Jonny Bairstow, on 47, steered the tourists to 127 for two at close of play. They still trail Sri Lanka by eight runs.

Dom Bess was delighted to be back bowling again after months of lockdown as he staked a claim to retain his place as England's first-choice spinner.

England were all out for 178 in their second innings, setting India a daunting victory target of 420 on the penultimate day of the opening Test at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium on Monday.

England off-spinner Dom Bess hopes to benefit from plenty of early-season overs should he face India in an upcoming Test series after mixed results against Virat Kohli's men earlier this year.

England off-spinner Dom Bess is looking forward to wickets that play to his strengths in Sri Lanka and India over the coming months, though the pitch his side were handed for a practice match on Friday presented a surprise.

England's Dom Bess took a five-wicket haul on the first day of the opening Test against Sri Lanka despite feeling he was under-prepared for the contest and did not bowl his best. Bess’ 5-30 off 10.1 overs saw the hosts crumble to 135 after they won the toss on Thursday, elected to bat and allowed England to take command as the tourists replied with 127-2 at stumps.

Lancashire seam bowler Saqib Mahmood has been added to the England squad as cover for the second Test against India.

Senior England pacer Stuart Broad might be dropped from the playing XI for the first Test against West Indies starting Wednesday with Jofra Archer and Mark Wood being tipped to partner James Anderson. With only one spinner in offie Dom Bess, Broad's place in the playing XI has come under doubt.

England on Sunday named their strongest available squad for the Ashes tour to Australia as all-rounders Ben Stokes and Sam Curran missed out but seamer Stuart Broad was included despite the calf injury he picked up in the Test series against India.

Just five Tests old he might be but England off-spinner Dom Bess believes his "consistency and accuracy" is "dangerous" at the moment, something that might give him a consistent presence in the national squad.

England captain Joe Root won the toss and elected to bat in windy conditions in the third and final Test against Pakistan at the Rose Bowl on Friday.

Joe Root wants his England bowlers to stay patient and let the wicket do the work after meeting a spirited Sri Lanka fightback on day three of the first Test in Galle on Saturday.
