The Kookaburra being trialled in the county game has been an absolute disaster.

Need some fielders around the bat for Bashir. Silly point would’ve gobbled up that inside edge.

I’m still hoping for Root to come on for an over and float a few outside Jadeja’s off stump. Just need one to hit the rough and turn in sharply to dismiss him ala Vaughan vs Tendulkar at Trent Bridge many years ago!

Jadeja is a real fighter.

When you look at how football has changed in recent years to sideline everyone bar the “top six”, then Trump being the centre of attention at the Club World Cup yesterday, as well as previously failed drug tests taking the shine off the Wimbledon 2025 men’s and women’s singles champions…test cricket is one of the fewest purest forms of sport remaining. It has to be protected, and played on a slightly more even keel in terms of funding received by the lesser nations, but it’s still very much alive!

Beautifully bowled from Woakes. That’s the moment.

I’d love it if England chucked the ball to Root for a couple of overs before lunch.

Can’t really do much about that, both Jadeja and Carse too late to spot the collision.

Holding up one end!

JOFRA!!!

How can he bowl Rehan for 4 overs when he’s rarely bowled this year, and not bowl himself?

Fantastic Mr Cox…unsung hero this season and dropping him from the Championship squad was criminal.

Looks like we’ll bat 12 overs and be bowled out for 110.

Agreed but the shot selection was just bizarre.

And even worse from Kimber.

Didn’t want to get promoted anyway.

It’s crazy that we’ve got someone who’s figures are 2 for 7 from 2 overs, but we’re chucking the game away bowling Walker and Salisbury. Kimber is infuriating!

Yeah we’ve lost this!

This is an outstanding shot from Shan!

Thanks for that!

130-140 will be tricky on this wicket.

No one for Gary O’Neil then?

Looks like Southampton will get their man.

Terrific performance!

Ridiculous decision from the umpire to not give Harrison out lbw to Green, looked pretty plumb to me.
