Until he nicks off to slip, something we're between 40 or 50 odd.

 

To often looks good and gets out! 

You called it.

[leicesterisme]

Crawley is just infuriating, constantly looks so good and constantly does something stupid

Bloke can't help himself.

 

When is he ever going to learn.

[winteriscoming]

Crawley is never an opener. Goes to hard at the ball.

Got an awful feeling we'll be 190-7 by about 4pm.

Sport doesn't get much better than this for me.

 

Two massive rivals slogging it out in front of a packed house in the sunshine. Game and series on a knife edge.

 

I love it.

Come on, Harry...

Say what you like about the respective performances of the teams, but as sporting entertainment goes, it has been brilliant.

Another poor dismissal.

[HighPeakFox]

Just leave it. I don't understand. 

[trabuch]

That's not good just before lunch. Not fun.

[Leicester_Loyal]

Relying on Stokes yet again ffs...

[Voll Blau]

Awful. Hadn't really looked settled all innings.

[leicsmac]

Well, no one thought it would be an easy finish, would they?

[coolhandfox]

Another poor dismissal.

 

Just getting on top and bang! 

[leicsmac]

That's something I have noticed about this series too, there's been next to no points where a team has been really, conclusively ahead in a Test until the point when it was practically the end of it anyway.

[Corky]

Do our players not realise there is an actual, proper keeper behind them when they bat?

[leicsmac]

Well, you offer me target down to double figures with Brook and Stokes still in at lunch at the start of play, I would have taken it.

Yep. Almost a perfect session.

Not entirely sure I'd say that - perfect for me would be Duckett and Crawley still both there on 70-odd unbeaten each, but we are favourites now.

[RowlattsFox]

Perhaps one wicket too many ideally, would prefer Stokes coming in to finish it with 60 or 70 get. Brook has played really well but you feel he can get out at any moment and then we are down to an out of form Bairstow and the bowlers.

@Lako42 hows the sphincter?

 

[leicsmac]

On the topic of Brook, seven more runs to make 1000 Test runs. Would be in 17 innings, which would be in the top 10 fastest ever.
