MIght be for the best with the injury etc.

Smith and Root need to get us to 350 though.

Yep. 5 down, we need a big partnership here. Nowhere near enough runs without it.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I’ll be pleased with anything over 400.

I’ll be pleased with anything over 400.

We'll be lucky to get 300 now

 

[johnny crossan]

Looking like we're going 2-1 down now - on the way to 4-1? Bad time to lose Root and now Woakes first ball.

Fucking Bumrah

 

[wattle]

It feels this team is regressing at the wrong time and our tactics have been sussed out

 

[waspish]

That Bumrah is some bowler let’s hope our bowlers get something out this pitch if it is as blunt as the last test we are in trouble

 

[waspish]

I’ll be pleased with anything over 400.

Those two will have to get 100 of them between them to get anywhere near that

 

[jimharri]

I get the impression that whenever Root is on about 100 overnight he usually gets out fairly quickly. Could be just me. Anyhow we need him to buckle down and keep going all day.

At least; this morning you have!

 

[waspish]

That’s a nic

 

[cyan]

What a bowler Bumrah is - hattrick incoming

 

[domalino]

It's so frustrating that Crawley, Duckett, Pope, Root & Smith have all had massive centuries lately, and yet we seem to never manage more than 1 player getting a 50+ per innings. They're in good form, they just can't put a serious innings together as a team regularly.

 

[waspish]

Woakes need to be on it with his bowling he is usually very good at lords!

We might scrape to 300

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Bumrah all over them.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fucks sake, Bumrah and our batsmen are making a nonsense out of a dead pitch

 

[Ajm1985]

What an absolutely nothing waft from Woakes. Bumrah is good enough without helping him out

 

[dadnlad]

have we got nobody that can throw a ball that well

or is it just not cricket

 

[waspish]

Fucks sake, Bumrah and our batsmen are making a nonsense out of a dead pitch

Hope it’s not a dead pitch or we in the shit

 

[bluemonkey71]

collapsing

He averages 45 with the bat and 13 with the ball at Lords, basically the stats of the best player in history, but only at this one ground.

Let's hope Golden duck isn't indicative of his bowling performance later..
