WI tour of Eng, July 3-30

[sussexpob]

Shamar 6...0...6...4

This partnership is hurting England now. Why is Shamar at 11 in this batting line up?

[sussexpob]

England have got a little carried away with the pace + shorter balls havent they. Rather than give him balls to get under and whack around, get it full

[sussexpob]

Can they delay the lunch break at 9 down?

Answer yes...30 minutes extra

[sussexpob]

50 partnership for the last wicket..... eras change, bowlers change.... England's inability to get tailenders out though remains the same

Root comes on to serve some pies up, and Da Silva is tucking into the buffet.... 4,4,4,6....

This is woeful from England's bowlers.

[Arthur Crabtree]

67 partnership. Quel disaster.

[Durhamfootman]

well, that was a very irritating 70 run 10th wicket stand

Durham-esque!

[sussexpob]

Crawley fails again... I leave everyone to decide on whether that is unlucky or dumb backing up..

[Arthur Crabtree]

One plus of no longer having Sky is not sitting through another 70+ last wicket stand against England. It'll be over in two minutes on the highlights.

I'm with you

[Arthur Crabtree]

England have gained the initiative with that hundred stand.

Pope on fire?

[Durhamfootman]

scorecard suggests England are being a bit more circumspect in their second innings.... whilst still going along at a decent pace

[Durhamfootman]

Pope on fire?

I blame you

[Durhamfootman]

now... Root needs a lot of runs just to get into the credit column for the match.... no pressure
