Smashing mate, a true reflection of the uber-road.

Not a bad recovery by England and a decent spell of bowling.

Wood bowling some stunning in-swinging yorkers here. I’d last little beyond his delivery stride. However if you know where the ball’s going, you quickly get your eye in and play accordingly. If only we had a spinner.

From TMS :

This is a better balanced England team now. The bowling attack is equally as poor as the batting line up.

This is all jolly depressing. Been watching for 2 hours, some dust has settled on the TV.

At this rate they will probably lose by an innings again.

And now Ben Stokes holds his foot :man_facepalming:

This just feels odd

One down after the best part of a day’s batting. Their bowlers are actually worse than ours.

That decision on Crawley’s none out was pretty bad, it would have missed three more wickets to the side of them.

An hour’s cricket after beating Brighton? Why not :slight_smile:

England losing wickets and the commentary making it sound bad … at above 400 I can’t be upset it’s been so long since we’ve seen anything this good.

Pakistan vs Australia 2nd test ended up a draw.

After posting +500 and dismissing Pakistan for 148, feel we should have put them back into bat and gone for the win - looks like a missed opportunity

Started badly which makes a refreshing change. Tail now not so much wagging as just pissing them off. 25 for Leach though, could (could) be vital.

200 on the cards? Spectacular last wicket stand if so. Particularly given they’re both number 10s.

Embarrassing for the rest of the lineup

Only watched the last few hours, these two have faced some serious deliveries and it’s really moving with the new ball. These two should open the second innings!

Some brutal in-swinging yorkers.
