Stoke retired hurt. His groin was troubling him. Right decision as we will need him to bowl.
 
Ok. Can it now be said that Bazball has been officially abandoned, or is this a new, savvier version of it?

Also: does Root have an argument for being England's greatest ever test batsman? I know there's serious competition — going all the way back to Denis Compton!

(Just looked up Compton's Wiki, incidentally — I confess that I was unaware that he was a seriously good footballer. Don't know how that escaped me all these years…).

I presume that nobody on here saw W.G. Grace? Calling @oakiecokie maybe?
They were going at five an over at one point they still four an over now is still very good better than most teams do!

Apparently - it was a decade or so before my time - Grace was to cricket what Donald Trump is to golf - an utter cheat. He refused to be or until he decided to be out. Utter **** by all accounts
 
Lancs could still go up yet
Yes the good news is that the team in second place, who they haven’t catch, is Glamorgan and we have to play them twice. The bad news is 2 of our 4 remaining games are at OT where I think there’s been a lot of drawn games this season
