A Smith century already feels like an inevitability.

I can't remember a player who scores so often from awkward positions.
There doesn't seem a lot going on with the bowling.

Why's Broad off the pitch?

Farokh Engineer, a fine cricketer from my youth and the Lanky one day side of the late 60’s and 70’s

Need 3/4 wickets at least this afternoon

Don’t think it really matters, to be honest. Old Trafford is never a 3 day result pitch, no matter what. Can see it ending in a one innings each draw to be honest.

Surprised that needed a review. Did the ump think he caught an edge?

Looked absolutely plumb.

Yes that’s why I was surprised we needed a review. Nowhere near his bat and right on the stumps. Looked clear

Great use of the reviews by England today

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fuck off Labuschagne you cocky ****

Haven’t seen them all, did we have any that we didn’t review that would have been out?

Not that I can recall , we had a couple that they thought about and didn't, probably rightly so

I reckon England will be very pleased with 187-4 at tea.

Why?

Just watching the Amazon prime video about Ian’s Botham and Chappell, I’d forgotten just how much they hated each other, and I am amazed Botham never wasted him. I miss IB in the commentary box, a proper character, unlike those bland fuckers today

 

[domalino]

Why?

I dont think they'll be thrilled, but if they can get them 7 down by stumps i think they'll be satisfied, and tea is about half way through the days' play and they're about half way there.

Then mop up the tail tomorrow morning with a new ball and bat through the day.

600 wickets for Broady, well done lad.

 

[trueblue1972]

Why?

I felt it was a very decent effort , maybe 1 more would have been nice but I suppose they have that now
