Doesn't do your Test prospects much good when you fall LBW on a forward defense.

Great bowling by Finn. Massive seam movement.

I don't think he was fully-forward though first ball into the innings...and it was a very good ball to get straight away. It's jagging about all over the place, which makes it a little tricky.

Didnt move his feet at all but it was a very tough nut to get first up with or without it

Incredible that they're playing. I'm going the cinema at 2, I imagine we'll have this wrapped up by then.

Was just wondering how many batsmen I've seen given out LBW to a forward defensive shot since the DRS started being used...I'm sure it has been quite a few.

Indeed. But it's also like saying "Doesn't do your chances any good if you nick one/ get yorked first ball. **** happens. Forrest had one hit on the tour before today, and that was the last match. I realise some people do well straight off a break, but a lot don't. I don't see how getting strangled down leg then copping a good ball on a seamer's delight first up tells us anything either way.

I agree. With your statement, not his :happy:

You've only got to watch Watson now to see that, even when you've been there for a while, it's incredibly difficult to do too much about it if you get a good one. The fact he has been there for a little while might have helped him get a sliver of bat on those last few that moved back in.

Any chance of finding the live coverage on GEM's website?

I couldn't find it, but maybe that's down to Sky's broadcasting rights in the UK.

Wow, this is some start by England. Not seen a ball but must be great bowling conditions judging by the card. Need to use them not waste them though which we appear to have done.
