[The Wizard]

Well, Stokes has gone MENTAL this morning. What a player.

Well, Stokes has gone MENTAL this morning. What a player.

This morning justifies the approach yesterday

Love this from the BBC commentary.

This whole bat sensibly, build a platform, tire the bowlers out and then kick on could really catch on.

I'm saying nothing until day3/4 and we see Faf and Quinton sharing a 250 run partnership !

Well, Stokes has gone MENTAL this morning. What a player.

He really is the complete cricketer. Doesn't have a weakness in his game.

This morning justifies the approach yesterday

Brilliant test cricket..............love it. As the game should be.

Pope goes walking across his stumps, he is reviewing it.

 

[Beach Hut]

Excellent review by Pope, stays in

 

[The Wizard]

Pope survives by a hairs width

Excellent review by Pope, stays in

Brilliant the radio thought he was plum and wasting a review.

335/4 Lunch

 

[dazzer6666]

Outstanding morning from England, and Stokes in particular. 111 runs in quick time, no wickets and partnership at 187. Great platform to push on to a big score.

 

[BensGrandad]

Hopefully looking at 450+ if these 2 and then Buttler can push on as they have been doing today.

Team Nas or team Mikey re the KG ban?

I agree with Holding. He knew he was on thin ice having accumulated enough points previously for similar incidents. As a one off it looks like nothing much, but that's not really the point.

Silly boy.

This - it's a totting up ban, not a ban for that celebration, he's been a bit of an idiot. It's the second time he's been banned like this too. Whether the 'offence' yesterday warranted a demerit point is questionable maybe, but sure his previous was taken into account.

Apologies for spamming the forum with that bloody signature btw. Got a new phone and forgot that I had to switch it off.

One NSC demerit point to me (hopefully it's gone now).
