Monday looks a wash out, need to get the Windiest batting this evening.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Expecting a big performance from Root here. A captain's innings. How about an 80-ball century, Joe?

Or, if we want to have a go at the Windies this evening, a 30-ball half-century?

48 off 102 as usual I expect.

 

[waspish]

Should have at least ten overs at them tonight.

 

[jimharri]

So; 399 for the Windies to win.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

The only question is whether they'll survive. It would be more than miraculous.

That'll do, Joe.

6-2. Any chance of that rain slipping by tomorrow? Calling @Indaparkside and @waspish!

It’s actually 100% chance from 11am - 3pm on mine and doesn’t go below 80% all day... I doubt it

The wet weather is very localised. I'm only 10 miles away and there's been showers on and off all day up until 4pm but there's been nothing at the real OT. Hoping it's the same tomorrow but I'm predicting a delayed start, perhaps nothing before mid afternoon but with some play later on.

Who ever dropped Broad for the first test match wants sacking and if Root has anything to do with it he should have his captaincy stripped of him a brain dead decision.

Not poor bowling no fella. Woakes and Archer were on the right line but too short whilst trying to bounce them out.

its a fine line of what you call bounce or chin music and if you go at it to much the batter can read it. you need to work the batsman over and then set him up, but it sounds like we was trying to hard ?

Yeah was a decent session mate.

We were one or two players from winning that.

Had Broad and Root player we’d have definitely won, just Broad over Woakes and we still probably would.

According to Vaughan on TMS Broads figures for the series so far are 22 overs 13 maidens 14 for 83

Think I misheard it first time apparently it's 36 overs

Still very impressive figures. Imagine what they could have been of Root had selected/used him properly...

Lovely day here in Manchester.
