Death, taxes, and an England batting collapse.

Hang on, you can’t call this a collapse, surely…..

107/0 to 109/3? I am, and don't call me....

My mate root shafted Lees.
Suicidal run.

Definitely a wobble, not yet a collapse.
Might be a teeter.

We seem to have assumed that, as ut’s Monday it must be day 5, and we’ve got to score these runs tonight.
There‘s ’positive’ and then there’s foolish and, if they can get the balance right, they could turn into a very good side.

I said it earlier. No slogging required. Comfortably less than 3 rpo required at tea.

Loving everyone’s subjective definitions of a batting collapse.

Just as you finish thinking "what a start, we could do this" a mini-disaster!

I was hoping we could get to a position of needing under 200 by the time Root came in...but that was silly of me. Need a 150 partnership from these two really if we're going to do it. Stokes could score an electric 100 or could hit out for 0 trying to reverse scoop a yorker.
