Anyone with tickets for tomorrow must be nervous.

Nasser must surely bore himself.

Good interview with Jimmy though, when Jimmy had bowled his last ball. I was very fascinated to see that take place inside the dressing room. Never seen that before. There was a palpable sense of deep respect verging on awe on the faces of all the players in that room. They knew that they were witnessing something historic. I was moved.

They should be okay for some play tomorrow, provided the weather behaves. I can't see us bowling them out twice before stumps tonight!

That was diabolical review and I wouldn't take Roots word for a knick he has history for it

Well if that is so then Pope should have overruled him. Weak captaincy.

Even if they somehow get to about 300,

Maybe I spoke too soon!

Even if they somehow get to 200…

(100?)

Actually seriously, I'd be a bit pissed off if I'd paid for the tickets for this. How much are we looking at a daily ticket for Lord's? £60 or thereabouts? More?

 

[jimharri]

Can we get them out for 228? With one or two exceptions, England made that pitch look fairly benign. Or can that be put down to the SL attack being pretty ordinary?

It's looking promising!

Will we get the mandatory one over of spin before tea?

That's what Hampshire are saying too, unfortunately.
