Get Marsh out and it could get interesting.

[Super_horns]

Into the middle order now.

 

Hopefully not a repeat of the first innings!

Game on?

It's really weird watching this not wanting any more wickets

I know what you means. I had tickets for the fourth day in 2013 (?) when B-road took 8-for and Aus were something like 68 all out in the first session.

Surely if they're  bowling short they need a fielder square of the batsman

Semi confident that we'll lose some play tomorrow. 

 

That still leaves more than enough time for a result

'selfishly' being the operative word. Think he said he's going on Sunday.

Ah ok.

I've had a few but there must be a joke somewhere about Bairstow being dropped or dropping himself for the rest of the series.

 

I'd appreciate a quick turnaround as I'm in the pub and looking to impress the cricket mad father in law

I have tickets and think we can still get a result in two days

This match will be over within about 100-120  overs play I think one way or the other. That only needs a day and a bit of the next three.

Doesn’t look great tbh but things can change .

That's BBC weather which is usually a work of fiction cooked up in the Netherlands.

 

Met office looks better.

Hilariously the met office gives me a different forecast

Decided to copy someone else's homework!

[Guest Lako42]

I think it's an improving picture. 

 

Doubt I'll see much if any play tomorrow 

[Guest Manini]

Muggy one this morning, probably couldn’t pick better conditions for bowling so I’ll look forward to watching history broken as Travis Head and the shit Marsh brother put on a world record partnership. 

[Guest Lako42]

Covers on

 

 

Get in 

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

Could do with a bit of rain this morning.

Two hour window of play in which we get them nine down.

 

Washout tomorrow. Sun shines Monday and we knock it off in half a day.

 

🤣🤞

 

 

[st albans fox]

Whilst it would be great to be bowling at them in humidity and cloud cover, it’s not the worst thing for the bowlers to get a days rest. 
 

tomorrow and Monday will provide enough time for a result but we really don’t want to be chasing more than 250
