Chasing again, starts at 8.00 am.

 

[maccavennie]

Been a bit crap so far.

Need to get Kohli out or it's a loss

 

[ToffeeTim]

Genuinely would like to know where Chris Woakes has gone. Surely he isn't being rested for the series. He hasn't played a match since last summer!

 

[ToffeeTim]

Crazy run out. Bairstow nearly did it the run before too. Absolutely stupid

That Stokes runout decision is one of the closest things I've seen in any sport.

I was sure it was out

It's about a millimetre in it. Crazy.

I was expecting that to be given out when I saw the replays

I think if you had 8K resolution on the cameras it's given, but the pixellation meant there was reasonable doubt.

I think he was out by about a millimetre but can't complain with a decision either way there.

Yeah there’s enough doubt there either way. For me, it looked like there wasn’t any bat grounded behind the crease, but as you say, there were millimetres in it and with a fuzzy picture, it’s right that it wasn’t given out. It was rather lackadaisical from Stokes to begin with though.

Ben Stokes is having a wonderful time at the moment (hope I don't jinx him). He just hit 42 from 8 balls faced (there were 2 wides as well)

They’ve got red hair but we don’t care!
Stokes & Bairs, Stokes and Bairs!

Stokes out but what an innings. 99 from 52 balls
