Still some tickets left in the Hollies tomorrow if anyone fancies it

Didn't expect us to get near 280 ahead I'll be honest. If it's as rainy/cloudy as it says tomorrow we're very much in this.

Well that's probably scuppered that

Ideally we get to tea with a lead of 250 minimum but preferably nearer 300. Put them in for the last session or some of it at least, then it depends how much play we get tomorrow because the conditions will be in our favour.

Luckily Smith looking amazed again there, I'd be very worried if we'd lost Bairstow just before lunch.

I'm assuming that's a case of the new owner being happy to get through last season but now wanting to kick on with a bigger name.

Shame that, was a good partnership. At least it's been productive. Need these two to stay in till lunch and push the lead up towards 200.

Jesus Christ, first ball and Root is trying to play a reverse ramp to Cummins

Neves about to head there from Wolves, £47m fee apparently. Only 26, has to be a financial decision. Especially with Mendes as his agent.

Take that back, can’t give away a lead now surely…

FINALLY! Hell of a knock that, proper test innings from Khawaja. Hopefully this tail doesn’t wag too much. Limit them to a lead of 20 max and I’ll be happy from where we were.

Another drop by Bairstow. Khawaja out first over would have been huge.

Considering we didn’t take any wickets last night, an extra 20-30 for us and 14 less for them could be the difference. I guess we’ll find out.

Khawaja was the key one. Carey’s a more than respectable batsman but once you’re through to Cummins and the rest of the bowlers you’d fancy us to knock them off reasonably quickly. All not lost though, important morning session tomorrow.

That’s why the Broad no ball was so frustrating, he’s properly anchored them.

What a ball. Did a lot of shouting before that was given as a no ball.

Ffs, Mick Harford on so they just showed the Dabo pen. I was having a lovely day until that.

A brilliant session all things considered, great advert for Test cricket. I’ve got Day 1 tickets for Old Trafford, regret not snapping up a couple of the extra day 2/3 tickets that got released a couple of weeks ago

YOU BEAUUTTYYYYY!!

Broad! What a few minutes, fucking around with the coppers then that [emoji23]
