Cricket (None Leicestershire County Cricket Club)

[StanSP]

Stokes limping. Twisted knee? He'll just slog and not run singles. NZ's best chance for a wicket. 

[Finnegan]

On the record trail here. 

[Big Dave]

Great to see this type of cricket.

12 months ago, we would have tried to bat out for the draw (and probably have been bowled out).

I know many people do not agree with me, but I would rather see us going for a win than trying to bat out a draw.  Positivity breeds positivity.

[RowlattsFox]

Spinner could the difference here. Get one of these to mistime one up in the air. 

[Super_horns]

Bairstow in full one day mode.

Great innings .

[StanSP]

Ton up! What a knock given the circumstances! 

[trabuch]

[RowlattsFox]

Great stuff Jonny. Just the scenario he wants and he's delivered. Now win the match. 

[Bert]

Phenomenal from Bairstow. So many overs left in the day, what a win this could be. 

[Finnegan]

Shame he fell just a couple balls short mind. Always like witnessing a record. 

[Finnegan]

Are these two England's most consistent partnership of their era? 

 

I obviously watch a lot less test cricket than most of you but it always seems to be these two digging England out of a hole or at very least steadying the ship. 

[StanSP]

Reminds of Pant in Australia couple of years ago. Free hitting any ball regardless of field. Joyful to watch hitting like this. Such clean strikes too. 

[EastAnglianFox]

I still think we will lose this

not even one day mode. This is rain affected t20 mode  

[Osavo]

This is absolutely ridiculous from Bairstow. What an advert for Test match cricket, full marks to Trent Bridge for getting a full house in to witness this show.

Not so much Bairstow. He’s been very hit and miss for the test side. But when he’s in white ball mode there aren’t many more in the world that can be as destructive.

Reckon we're gonna lose this uno.

Thank me later.

 

Great from this Stokes and Bairstow.

[RonnieTodger]

Phenomenal. Imagine not loving test cricket.

I wouldn't say no chance.  One of these gets out now then there is a chance. We have a long tail. 

[Manwell Pablo]

Imagine losing a test match having posted over 550 in your first innings.

[RowlattsFox]

I hope people remember this when they try this some other time and get rolled over. More often than not this fails IMO but it's a great watch

The Tory rebels have more chance of getting Boris out Than New Zealand do have getting these two out.

I'd say no chance because NZ haven't even looked close to getting either out! 

 

Even if one goes, there's enough left!
