if Root survives an hour tomorrow England win

Still make New Zealand favourite because we know Root gets out with still 30/40 needed the collapse WILL happen.

This'll hurt when it happens, as it's well within our grasp. Foakes needs to channel his inner Jack Leach to hang around with Root's inner Ben Stokes.

Fucking hell I am starting to believe more fool me.

Are you a City fan or aren't you?!

Just watching the highlights on bbc how most of our players get out is there defence is poor and choosing the right balls to attack! Unless the likes of Pope Crawley and Bairstow we ain’t getting big runs.

Mate i always think the current City side are somehow going to pull it out of the bag although admittedly the other Sunday was pushing it, my City 80’s head is firmly in place with England, I hope but ultimately deep down I know the ending.

The Bairstow bat/pad canyon was a bit ugly, wasn't it?

Nice of them to describe the Warne to Gatting ball as the one that made his career. Um, it may have made his name over here, but I think his career probably would have been okay without it.

Better still, your inner Ken Barrington. (I once spent several years at Trent Bridge watching possibly the slowest and most boring 50 I've ever seen, scored by him).
