Quite something from Yadav.

Also interesting to hear that if they don't get 19 overs bowled in a set time, they have to bring fielders up for the last over. That's not a bad way to punish slow play.

The spinners have shat the bed in a big way.

Not sure what they could do. Anything slightly off line is a wide and anything else is a 6 ball.

Oh oh let’s hope this isn’t a Jordan special

Possibly should have bowled Jordan first, but it's a mug's game on a small ground, I agree.

That last ball from Moeen was a bouncer, I think - all he has at that point is change of pace.

Good start

The ploy worked as Yadav got out, however it was a risky decision to bowl him then.

That should be that

Woohoo we won but series lost

Surprised they’re still playing. Isn’t Sri Lanka on fire at the moment or is it just half the population on holiday at the PM’s house.

I nearly went on a whim this morning. Glad I didn’t as I was assuming it was at OT!

Not sure upsetting Russian gentlemen is the wisest move.

I see a Somerset batter with an average of 20 has bagged a century. The one who got 70 has an average of 2! I know the latter one is slightly misleading as he has only played once before, but that was in July 2021…….

Too many people let in today, and confiscating cans and bottles. Not really a day for 7 hours standing.
