He has made the most of it though......magnificent player...think he has done a lot of work in thinking how he can better adapt to English conditions.

Yeah but he shouldn't have got going in this series, malan dropped him twice on his way to a century. He says very nearly out first ball in this game too. He's made the most of it, but he's had loads of chances.

How long are we giving England today before the inevitable happens.....lunch? Tea? Close of play? LOL

We should have it wrapped up by tea if our batters get a wriggle on.

And so it starts.........

well, that's got to be jennings dropoped. I know all this chopping and changing won't help anyone and maybe they could actually show some patience with someone, but none of the guys they're giving a go look comfortable. I know test cricket is different but hales and roy tbh are both comfortable on the international stage. Them getting out for quick 40's would be much better than what we're currently producing.

oh dear, cook's terrible series continues.

 

[Blues Harp]

Predictable as hell.......time to go Cook

 

[Flano21]

Hopefully that’s Jennings done now and Cook needs putting down for his own good now

It probably has nothing to do with anything but, 25 minutes before starting an attempt to bat to save a Test, Keaton Jennings and Alastair Cook were still playing football.




hmm

Massive historic statistical pressure on Stokes. If he makes 10, it will be the first time in Test history that the top 5 have all reached double figures in all four innings. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?batting_positionmax1=5;batting_positionval1=batting_position;class=1;filter=advanced;groupby=match;orderby=innings;qualmin1=19;qualval1=innings;runsmin1=10;runsval1=runs;size=200;template=results;type=batting … The tension is unbearable.


wow, what a stat this would be. Can't believe it's never happened and you wouldn't expect it in a game where one team was 161 ao and 84-4 ha

The sun out and better weather really makes a difference, it was out on the afternoon of day one and then disappeared.

Now its back and so England who lost all ten in a session, lose none at all.

...Lancashire set 271 by Surrey. A tough ask in the final innings.

Maiden ton in tests for buttler, him and stokes keeping in it

Class knock, well played, couldn't believe it was his first. If a player like him can reign it in, why can't the rest?
