Khawaja's the one. He's had a pretty good series. Looking a bit ominous. We get him tonight, and it really is game on.

Yeah, forgot about that. Their batting as a whole looks wafer thin though

Strangely fragile, yes.
They seem to get one big score 1 of them will get a big score, and they are doing - Khawaja, Smith, Marsh have the centuries, with a few 50s thrown in to make the score. Only Khawaja of the batsmen can be pleased with the series so far.

There's only been one innings total of more than 400 and this is the 11th innings. Normally, there will be something big.
Obviously England would probably also have got 400 at Edgbaston.

I was just going to say how disappointed I’ve been by Woakes this innings….

Huge wicket, great bowling and a Bairstow catch!

It's on!

 

[Ajm1985]

Woakesy! Need to get Marsh out quickly now

 

[jimharri]

Fuck; he caught one!

That’s the third time my wife has walked in the room and talked to me and we’ve taken a wicket while she’s been speaking.

I asked her to get out of the room and walk back in when Marsh faces his first ball.

Now she’s annoyed that I’m not listening and she’s fucked off to the shops!

Jim Morrison or whatever his name is on TMS, is a good commenter but you can hear the snarky comments when England are on top.

Absolutely did not expect England to be in this position this evening. Was getting worried that Khawaja was getting too settled in.
It's possible. It's definitely maybe.
