PaulC Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Well we have got to tea 2 down. Only 3 seamers a spinner and a part time spinner. Just stick around wear them down. As I said yesterday no reason why we cant still win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Long way to go. It's frustrating that this wasn't on display yesterday but they've done ok today. Do need to make hay with the softer ball and the tired bowlers though. Tomorrow mid morning will be rested bowlers and a new ball at some point. Need these guys to survive a full hour plus tonight to genuinely think about doing it though. Can change so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we just need to carry on as we are and play each ball on merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Joe Root showing great character. 3 down at the close is good. Just one wicket In the first session tomorrow and it’ really is on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Still in with a shout. Fair play to Root, solid innings that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Fair play. Didn’t think we’d be seeing tea when both the openers fell after lunch! It’s nice to have a bit of optimism, but we all know how this is going to end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Thought this would be all over by today. To now have half a chance after that s**tshow in the first innings is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 This match is not over yet. England have 130 to get with 6 wickets in hand and the pitch is doing nothing for the fast bowlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Well bookmakers making England strong favs now. A wicket would change that. Lyon the main threat now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
