Wow! Lump on England at 9/1. Don't understand that dec, they just needed another 30 runs and 20 mins.

Virtually no chance that we‘re chasing these runs.

There’s still a long time left here. This is gonna be one of the games that looks like it’s fizzing out then turns into a classic

Realistically, there’s about 55 overs left to get these runs on a day 4 pitch. It’s not going to happen.

There have only been 3 instances of the team batting last at Lords chasing 200+ runs.

They are just in survival mode, that will be an achievement in itself with our batting line up.
