[Sid and the Sharknados]

Are those adverts with the talking stumps the most annoying adverts in the world, or-

No, they are.

8 down now.

Make that 9.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Peach of a ball from Woakes to get Seales.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Entertainment abounds

 

[A1X]

Not content with destroying the English bowlers, Joseph now destroying the ground slate by slate

 

[Pevenseagull]

Gone from will Da Silva get his 50 and will West Indies draw level to will Shamar Joseph get his 50 and how big will their lead be.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Root bowling well
3 x 4s and a maximum from one over.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Good morning's play that.

 

[A1X]

Root bowling well
3 x 4s and a maximum from one over.

Going for the declaration bowling, they weren’t ready for that

 

[Is it PotG?]

How's yer luck, Zak?

 

[Eeyore]

Going for the declaration bowling, they weren’t ready for that

I remember declaration bowling and shouts of 'drop it' when a batsman offered a dolly. Much to the chagrin of the part time bowler.

 

[Jeremiah]

Duckett's gone.

140 - 3 (a lead of 99 runs )

Hopefully Root will get a ton.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Root and Brook have turned the game firmly back in England's favour. Their batting was the perfect mix of intelligence and positivity.

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

Root and Brook steady the ship with a partnership of 108.

 

[pasty]

What an excellent day of test cricket yesterday with the advantage swinging between the two sides throughout the day.

Gutted going to miss todays play as Mrs P has just uttered the most feared word known to man.

IKEA

[Eeyore]

Just as Jamie Smith was taking the last ball I was thinking how he will be a fixture in the team for a long time. The other half of my brain said 'No, don't think that'. Spectator's curse.

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

I'm taking the blame for the 3 wickets down this morning.
Brook and Root were going along nicely until I started watching, 40 minutes later the West Indies are right back in it.
Sorry!

Root on 92, shall we keep him? His Test average heading towards 50...
