Just read about that here.

Getting a bit Formula One in the worst possible sense for me. I.e results being disputed for hours and days after the event has finished.

I'm not a fan of results getting overturned after the event has finished and I agree a lot of the loss was down to Lancs bottling it.

Sounds very Utdish....are most of the Lancs setup reds?

Stokes is in danger of becoming Shahid Afridi. Trying to hit every ball as far as he can and keep getting out in doing so.

Not sure what to make of England’s new approach of heading the ball.

Looking at the pitch we need 300 at least butler needs to stay to the end for that to happen

Yeah, eek out as many as we can. Probably irrelevant though. We need to take 10 wickets to win, whatever we get now.
