Finnegan Posted 14 July 2019 Posted 14 July 2019 Good grief. Fortune smiling on Roy and Bairstow so far. Jesus how has there not been a wicket.

Not suggesting otherwise. Just a few scary looking moments for England there in the first couple overs. The one that missed the bat and went an inch or two over the bails especially.
RowlattsFox Posted 14 July 2019 Posted 14 July 2019 This is why Roy might struggle in the tests. Still deserves a shot though.

But have to say am sick of hearing Boult scream out the minute the batsman hits the ball. Not sure if I've missed it happening for others but it's getting my nerves already

Think anyone would struggle against this opening burst tbf. Know what you’re saying though. Think he’s dealt with it well so far personally. Just been bowled a few snorters. Sorry everyone.
UniFox21 Posted 14 July 2019 Posted 14 July 2019 Maybe being naive here, but we've hit the same drive 3/4 times for a 4 now, surely they should be covering it?
RowlattsFox Posted 14 July 2019 Posted 14 July 2019 There we go, was always going to knock one eventually. Done well to get 17 really. Time for Root to do what he does, if ever there was an occasion for a player like him this is it.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 14 July 2019 Posted 14 July 2019 We've got to get to 10 overs without losing another. Disappointed for Roy, thought we were lucky not to lose a wicket even earlier though.

PhillippaT Posted 14 July 2019 Posted 14 July 2019 My fault! I swapped from F1 to the cricket, just as they took the wicket
Crinklyfox Posted 14 July 2019 Posted 14 July 2019 We have to do what NZ did, hang on in there until the best bowlers are off and the ball isn't doing so much. Big roles for Root and Morgan today.

Corky Posted 14 July 2019 Posted 14 July 2019 Great to see elite bowlers having a real impact. Sod the 370-390 each game, 240 is a tough score to get and that is how it should be.

Nickfosse Posted 14 July 2019 Posted 14 July 2019 Really can’t see England getting 242 wit the ball moving like it is
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 14 July 2019 Posted 14 July 2019 Fantastic bowling, pressure is increasing
