Need to get the last two wickets in the first 30mins then by the end of the day we should have a lead

He had to catch a tough one at some point

He made it tough by moving too far to leg. Should have been a routine catch.

I would have thought that continually erecting and dismantling it would be costing more?

No ashes test for Old Trafford when the Aussies tour again in 2027

New stand approved for Old Trafford cricket ground | New Civil Engineer

Trafford Council’s planning and development management committee granted consent for the BDP-designed grandstand on Brian Statham Way in Manchester. Old

The development referred to is where the old red rose press centre was which exactly the opposite side the large temp stand along with a dedicated 2nd ground north of Leyland.

The temp stand will be the last piece of jigsaw with every other stand being redeveloped first, along with the new hotel, press centre and point. The temp seating was there for the 2005 ashes but much smaller stand, and it was a huge red stand in 2013, which had less of an incline and was dreadful if you were near the back. Some people I know refused to go to internationals at OT after being in that stand.

They normally leave the bottom part and remove the back, I doubt they have planning for something so big on a permanent basis, and when they do build another stand it will have a much lower capacity. It is the same as formula 1 having temps stands for a weekend.

We need to get these last two out quickly.

Yep we need to have a 100 lead by close of play

Yep we need to have a 100 lead by close of play

That would be an amazing day though I’m not overly optimistic.

It have to be a perfect day for us to get that lead and with the weather think we have to have that day today
