Yeah but his contribution with the bat played a part, even more so allowing the others to score quicker.

4 points on the board tonight begs to differ too.

Knew they were losing again so spat their dummy out

But when you’ve got Budinger and Ahmed who can get the fast runs, he’s the perfect foil.

Boy did we need that! Great performance with bat and ball.

Crawley isn’t settled at all.

Get off Foxestalk now?

No chance of rain either, dammit

It’s important that we get a manager in, you can all argue amongst yourselves of who it should be or who you want but we need to get the bloke in asap otherwise we are gonna be even further behind than we probably already are.

Only because we don’t know what you were caught out doing

England manage to outscore Shubman Gill’s first innings score by 2 in the whole of their second innings.

Don’t get why Scriven only bowled 2. Don’t get why he persisted with Hull who was silly expensive. It’s so frustrating.

Shit captaincy costs us again

Come on England.

Wins a win. But more importantly winning breeds confidence, something you cannot buy.

A very comfortable chase for them. Disappointing loss of course, but still 5 games left to play. Northants coming back to the pack as well.

It’s a defendable score but unfortunately not enough. Some poor shots to get out tonight. Said in the run up after Sol’s 50 he’ll get out, lo and behold he does. Rehan with a silly shot. Had such a good start as well. 70 off 6 overs.

So poor from Masood that

It’s risk and reward isn’t it. I think the wickets we lost yesterday, especially Pope is a prime example of how it can go horribly wrong. That’s when sometimes you might want to think “we’ve just lost our opener later on in day 2 let’s just be a bit more sensible here and try see the session through” but the opposition know that any loose ball pitched up is half a chance at taking a wicket. Today’s wickets Root was fairly unlucky in that fact he’s made an average ball going down the leg side turn into a good ball with the thinnest of nicks off the bottom edge. The ball that got Stokes you simply have to hold your hands up and say fair play. Then after you see what these lads are putting on and it’s great to watch from an England point view. From the brink of defeat to at least being back in the game.

The difference between arrested and charged with the offences is massive. CPS won’t go ahead with a charge without reasonable enough evidence. Maybe as mentioned this is why there was no contract renewal.

You e just described the first test there mate

Nice recovery.

I wouldn’t back any team to avoid the follow on with 5 wickets remaining needing nearly 300 more.

India couldn’t have asked for a better start. Unplayable delivery to get Stokes.

And so it begins.
