Pleeeease clean up the tail for once…

This where we need wood or Rehem

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

This is pretty wasteful stuff…England need a lead of at least 100, I’d say.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

What a great days play. Looking forward to tomorrow.

I remember doing the same thing in 2002 at the Basin Reserve, ended up being accosted by a guy who lived in the road behind me and then dragged in with the Barmy Army, most mental day I’ve ever had in my life!

Quite a bit of wagging went on, still looks a strong position though, get to 250 lead and we are looking good.

That Joe Root DRS call looked a bit iffy.

It’s not iffy, it’s complete and utter bollocks.

It’s pitching out and the ball turns then goes dead straight? Not a chance. Could’ve put a 4th stump next to leg and it would’ve missed.

 

[Impspur1]

Get that lead to 200 plus and that looks a winnable total.

If England are capable of bowling out the tail…otherwise I’d say 300

It certainly looked like it should have been umpire call on impact...and oh bugger as i type Crawley has gone now

 

[Impspur1]

An hour of stokes and YJB would be very welcome here. Time for proper bazball?

 

[midoshairband]

awful shot by Crawley, he'd played so well up to then.

think we need 300 seeing as we can't bowl the tail out. pitch also isn't doing anything outrageous.

shame, as the 1st innings lead should have been 120 minimum really.

Stokes is going to be out LBW before long. Narrowly survived an appeal, was out the next ball but no appeal, and is so far back on his own stumps he's bringing 'Hit wicket' into the equation.

 

[dvdhopeful]

Serious danger now but the pitch playing a massive part in these dismissals.

Hmm, well it'd have been LBW if it hadn't gone on to then hit the stumps.

 

[Impspur1]

Going to be really hard to chase 200 on this. Pitch is so unpredictable. Could be a Jimmy day

 

[$hoguN]

You wouldn’t want to be chasing 220 on this pitch

Need to have Foakes ply the back up role and Bairstow get on with it.
Lets see how that goes.
I am supporting England here! lol
