Root, Cook, Stoneman, Malan, Ballance, Vince, Moeen, Crane, Foakes, Bairstow, Stokes, Woakes, Broad, Anderson, Ball, Overton

Lyon doing all sorts with this ball

Relying big time on root. He needs a hundred and the rest need to bat around him.

 

It aint happening. But my word id love us to pull this off

massivest IF ever

 

if we get through to close and then have two sessions in daylight, theres a very slight chance

Need to just plod on tonight get through with no more wickets lost

 

I genuinely believe we can and wiill win this test from here.

No reviews left; dickheads

lyon the massive danger

 

hang in chaps

46 mins/15 overs.

 

Won't get them all in. Keep going steadily, no risks but don't go in your shell.

 

At least some fight being showed.

how many overs left?

 

 

14

There's nothing like Ashes 5 day cricket

Bloody hello this is tense stuff, my arse is twitching like Boy George on Canal St at Pride Weekend.

and is there a cricketer more punchable than that cunt Lyon.

 

Review that, arsehole

How can people not like cricket?

fuck

hmmm, thats not good

 

still a slight chance i suppose

Superb day of Test cricket.

Yes, they should of turned up earlier in the match, but what a monumental effort today was from England

Yeah. Come on lads. Need a good solid first session tomorrow and get them twitching.

A great day for England, looked bleak when Vince threw his wicket away and Root left one but thankfully it was missing,

 

with Root, Ali and Bairstow this is very on.

Need Woakes to play his part, a 50 partnership with Root in the morning would do very nicely.

 

Right, I need to do some bloody work!! Got absolutely nothing done whilst that was on!

Overton scored highest in the first innings too and now and again Broad manages a decent total.

100/1 the draw with 365

 

lump on that then pray for rain

they've made good progress but the runs haven't come quickly enough to avoid needing to face a new ball

 

thats yet another worry

They were always going to have to face another new ball at around 200-220, which as you say is going to be the issue, especially if Root doesn't see the next 18 overs out.
