*Official* 2nd Test at Lord's

[TheJediBrah]

This pitch is an absolute road, what a joke. Ruining the game of test cricket.

Draw for mine.

 

[Compton]

Only 30 odd overs until the new ball...

Wasn't expecting Stokes to bat this well - surprised and delighted with him

 

[OverratedSanity]

Stokes might be turning into something awesome.

 

[Compton]

Finally, Smith gets the ball!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Only 30 odd overs until the new ball...

At todays run rate we will be over 250 by then. If Stokes stays in you would think it will be nearer 300 and the follow on wouldn't be far off.

[wellAlbidarned]

hey guys just got in what's happeni-
****

 

[Gnske]

Watson would have had 5 wickets by now.

About time Marsh did something.

 

[91Jmay]

Kept a bit low, shame as he looked in great form. All Australia needed to make it a good session for them.

Thanks a lot for that.

Good knock, but we needed so many more. He still showed the top order how ****ing hopeless they were yesterday.

 

[Johnners]

G'stuff Marsh (y)

 

[Burgey]

Kept a little low but good length causing the angled bat. Fine knock Stokes. If England **** him up as a cricketer by making him play like an Englishman I'll be so pissed off.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bugger, great partnership though. Need another one now.

 

[Jono]

If England **** him up as a cricketer by making him play like an Englishman I'll be so pissed off.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nice knock but that top order collapse is a hole too big to escape from. Still almost 400 behind despite a great partnership fmd.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Didn't keep that low on replay tbf.
