Looking at the weather forecast unless we get skittled out under 200 it be a draw

Great captain's knock from Vilas!

Playing right across the line, so irresponsible!

 

[Ajm1985]

England's bowling strategy for lower order batsmen is fucking awful

It’s looking like he’s stayed one year too many.

Bouncers until the new ball.

It's short stuff when they come in, regardless - Jadeja had a more attacking field than them. It's the same as against NZ - be happy to leak 50-60 runs if they eventually top edge

Some absolute brain dead bowling here

 

[rowarta]

crazy over from Broad

 

[razman]

34 runs of 5 balls damn

 

[Ajm1985]

Embarrassing

 

[jaiguruKun]

Don't know what Broad is smiling for. That should be the last over of his career. Why do they bang it in short to tailenders every single time?

 

[Ajm1985]

98-5 to 416 all out. That's consistent with NZ as well

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

The bill for batsmen batting at 9 and 10, along with extras: getting on for a century. Kind of expensive, eh?

 

[red 2 hats]

Broad should hang his head in shame, that was brain dead bowling at its finest.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Assume that England's innings starts at Pope. You can save yourself a lot of grief that way.

 

[waspish]

Rain for the day for me

 

[RandomJ]

The tactic of bowling bouncers to tailenders is so outdated. Thanks to T20 and the way one day cricket has gone the majority are more than ok slog hooking short delivery’s. Yet England keep doing it and allowing teams to get a lot more runs than necessary.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Time for my Crawley getting out to a loose drive on the up Gif.

He has to go. Been given his chance and proven not good enough.

It’s like watching James Vince again.
