Really should be trying to play this out for a draw from here. This is where Baseball falls down and they go out swinging.
Fucking awful. I'm taking the dog for another walk.Christ, I hadn't even put it on yet and don't think I will. Just wandered on to the BBC Sport site to check. Embarrassing
Root and Stokes are out before all of The Flintstones have taken their seats in the Hollies.
I'm taking the dog for another walk.
No but the missus did ask me the other week if I'd seen the dog bowl. I said I didnt know she played cricket! Boom boom boom chah!Can he bat?
If so, make sure he is around for the next test
Over confidence against the new ball maybe?Smith and Brook doing incredibly well but you have to ask why 3 batters, including the captain, gave us nothing.
If the wicket is that flat then you should be expecting 40/50 at least from them and it puts the game within reach.
I still think the sensible option is to try and play a draw.
New ball was doing a bit. Different umpire and woakes could have 3 wickets day one (Inc 2 before lunch both clipping the stumps so umpire's decision)Over confidence against the new ball maybe?
And there it isNot out the question there could be 5 ducks in the innings as well.
After losing their first wicket, England failed to last more than five balls between wickets throughout the remainder of their innings.
