Rodders Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Could be a disastrous failure or we get there with ease. Who knows. Either way two good partnerships could do the bulk of this. Just don't be too stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted July 8, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 8, 2023 Under 240 I made us slight favourites - I mean, it's anyone's guess this, we could be gone for sixty or odd or get it done for the loss of two wickets, take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Manage to avoid bungling away any wickets tonight.. just. Let's see if that continues after the first hour tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochheads twin Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 The openers did well this evening. A solid start need in the morning Bairstow could learn something from watching Amy Jones keep wicket. Some great work for the ladies at Lords. Really impressive how she can stand up to the stumps when the medium pacers are on.Brilliant work for one of the wickets, catching the ball and then stumping the Aussie.! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 After getting through that little session I think England will get the job done tomorrow. Really good day for England. The rain break helped us massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 Magnificent session from England. It’s a real shame we’re 2-0 down here, should be 1-1 at the worst. Has the makings of a classic series if we win from here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 One or two fortunate near misses but overall the openers played it well. Weather should be much better tomorrow so more batting friendly, first hour crucial, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 The Met Office say cloudy from late morning so its going to swing quire a bit but I am confident we will get the runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 If Crawley and Duckett can get through the first half hour without nicking behind then they can set England up to win. If they go early Brook will follow and then it's all on Root and Stokes relying on to put in a gritty innings again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
