Interesting that Macron has called the US strikes illegal. No love lost currently between him and Trump. Our spineless government think that but daren’t say it as they’re scared to upset Trump while the German chancellor fully supports them. Weird times.

Dont lie mate, we never got close to scoring 380 🤣

Kellaway is a lot of fun, bowls 3 balls right armed and 3 balls left armed.

Sending out a night watchman, great banter from us.

Sounds like archer is coming straight back in

I thought yesterday was our worst day of the season but today has been hands down the best, and there’s been lots of good days. These are the halcyon days, drink it in.

Their attempt at drawing the line under this whole fiasco hopefully. We just need the Israeli’s to stop now.

Players like Thakur have no business in this team if they can’t get a few runs. Where’s Yadav, Ashwin, Arshdeep?

From this position, we want 500+ and be in a bat once position. Absolutely magnificent stuff. Pressure is the only thing that’ll win the game as the pitch is dead.

His average is actually better than Patel and Budinger’s but his issue was always his strike rate. He wouldn’t get into this team. Great guy though, incredibly clever and won’t have any issues outside of the game. I believe he also plays in the Notts league now.

Can see india declaring tonight and giving England 5-6 overs at this rate.

You never know with this team. One thing for sure is that it’s an absolute road. Green must’ve bowled very well this morning.

Long overdue Sol! Now make it a big one.

We’re 206 behind currently with 10 wickets left, so a lead is possible provided we don’t do anything stupid. And a lead would pretty much rule out a loss unless something stupid happens. Will be interesting if we can keep going at 4.5rpo

A win would be excellent but a draw is equally as valuable against a promotion rival. It would keep us at least 40+ ahead of them.

The ball/pitch isn’t doing anything right now. We really just need to bat patiently and sensibly.

Cracking morning so far. Somehow going to come out of this innings with more bonus points that them

Yep that rate definitely increases the chance of a draw which would be a good result for us

Russia released high grade nerve agent onto British streets 4 months before they hosted the World Cup, as well as occupying Crimea.

Terrible day for us.

What’s the pitch doing? I saw an hour this morning and it looked dead for bowlers but I don’t know if that was just my interpretation

Yeah Richard Rae says he’s playing as a batter only.

This isn’t a Bazball thing though. I remember that test about a decade ago where Ishant Sharma kept banging it in short and got about 3 or 4 caught on the ropes.

6fer for the spinner, seems it’s a bit of a lottery. Let’s hope Glos have a decent spinner or two.

These have a long tail, if we can keep them under 400, we’ll be in business I think.
