Cheating convicts getting a spanking in Manchester. Bowling bang average and Starc now looks like he maybe carrying an injury. England could be 150 ahead at stumps tonight if it carries on the same momentum.

Yes, true. From what I'm reading (at work, so not watching), it's been a fantastic innings; better than a run a ball. But he's in and set at this stage. And seemingly seeing the ball like it's a beach ball. He needs to frustrate the Aussies now.

With the threat of rain , I just can't see us holding back at we need runs and fast , better to die by the sword , we scoring quickly but not completely wreckless , Crawley has rode his luck a little , but has played some fantastic shots ,

A ton for Joe Root today

After tea England will absolutely go for it. May lose wickets but we won’t lose time in the match. We have to bowl the Aussies out and get ahead of them with the rest of today and then 3 very rain hit days - this is just the timed or Bazball, in a must win match

At what point does a hundred become "a big one"?

I ask because people always say "OK he's got a hundred, now he has to make it a big 'un" and I'm wondering when Crawley can finally just bat freely with no obligation to the team, or making his chance count.

100% agree

I'd say 150

It will because the convicts will continue to slow the over rate down, but with these 2 and then Brook, Bairstow and Stokes and then Woakes and Wood they will have a fucking good go mate

 

[VOOMER]

10 an over with this fielding setup. How many more overs today?

I tend to think 150+ is a big hundred

 

[jimharri]

Yeah, I'd say the same. Halfway to the second hundred would make it "big", in my opinion.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Amazing that 7 of Australia’s 11 batsmen got 20 and over yet they only made 317. Poor batting given the starts they all got and in a placid wicket

Oh, for sure they will, but 250 ahead would mean scoring almost 300 runs from now , I think 75 is far more realistic

 

[domalino]

Crawley just overtook Travis Head to be the 2nd highest run scorer of the series.

He's 37 behind Khawaja.

His innings is now the 3rd highest of the series (#1 is Stokes 155)

He's got the highest strike rate of anyone.

He's got the third highest average of the series behind Root & Marsh.


People will still want him dropped for the next test but won't be able to say who for.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Crikey over 100 runs from one batsman in a session is equivalent to a team total of well over 600 in a day

I like the look of that Sibley fella.

It was stated as 150 not 250.
