[Cricket] *** England v West Indies, Trent Bridge, 2nd Test. ***

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Quality shot from Root to bring up his hundred.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Proper innings that.

Lovely

Nice window of opportunity for me to pop out for a couple of pints before the evening session (cricket, not drinking).

 

[jakarta]

Root out for just 122, it's 20/20 time I reckon at 420-8

 

[jakarta]

425 ao, 385 to win...

 

[CHAPPERS]

This Seales is decent. Could develop into a very good bowler.

 

[Si Gull]

Could be interesting, athough England losing the last 7 wickets for 96 suggests that the pitch isn't quite as flat as we thought.

The drinks interval does for Louis... Woakes finds the edge, and breaks a strong opening partnership.

Mikyle Louis c †Smith b Woakes 17 (40b 2x4 0x6) SR: 42.5

61-1

Or maybe it proves England's batting can be a rad reckless at times.

 

[Titanic]

Bashir into the attack... and strikes immediately.... under edge to the keeper.

Kirk McKenzie c †Smith b Shoaib Bashir 1 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 20

66-2

Feels like England thought they had it in the bag and lost concentration. Should still win, but a lead of 385 is short of where they should have been.

 

[fly high]

This Seales is decent. Could develop into a very good bowler.

Hope we can keep him coming back to us for a few years.

 

[Titanic]

Woakes on fire... this time it's Brathwaite!!

Kraigg Brathwaite c †Smith b Woakes 47 (48b 8x4 0x6) SR: 97.91

74-3

 

[Titanic]

A DECISIVE half hour... Bashir traps the centurion Hodge.. and it's 4 down.

Kavem Hodge lbw b Shoaib Bashir 0 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

75-4

4 for 14 in 24 balls.

Or maybe it proves England's batting can be a rad reckless at times.

Genuine tailenders like Wood aside, I didn't think any of England's wickets today were reckless.

Could argue with Stokes' dismissal I suppose, but in both innings of this match he got balls that deserved to be hit and he tried to hit them.

 

[Questions]

Brute of a delivery indeed. Not really playable that

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Finally a wicket for Wood's effort.

 

[Titanic]

Been away for 15 mins... and two more have gone!

91-6

 

[banjo]

8 down now.

 

[Soton Seagull]

Great for England but not so good for test cricket. Looked like we had a competitive game, but not anymore.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Went to clean the car WI 50 odd for none…just switched tv on and wtf
