*Official* 2nd Test at Lord's

[Spark]

to go back to spark's thing, 50 runs then were worth more than 50 balls.

yeah. the only exception would be if england try the sa approach but i don't think they can/will. root/stokes are no abdv/faf

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Just have to get through to tea no worse than 2 down. Think we will lose one before lunch though and another couple before tea.

 

[Spikey]

also as always england is perfectly capable of chasing this down.

 

[Gob]

full fast straight please

 

[flibbertyjibber]

also as always england is perfectly capable of chasing this down.

No chance. Won't get 350. All over by lunch tomorrow.

 

[GIMH]

4 runs before lunch then 101 in each subsequent session

final scorecard

Cook 267*
lyth 1
Ballance 1
Bell 0
Roooooot 202
Stokes 30
Buttler 3
Ali 1
Broad 0
Wood 0
Anderson 6* (from one reverse sweep to win the game)

No extras

 

[TheJediBrah]

Australia's 10 wickets in this game so far has brought 500 more runs than England's 10 wickets

that's insane

 

[Kirkut]

England batsmen to become Buddhist monks. They will let go all deliveries.

 

[GIMH]

Let's hope Adam Lyth can get his maiden test fifty here

 

[Riggins]

this is the kind of weird situation punter would have jagged a runout.

 

[GIMH]

If Clarke had any balls he'd have nine slips

 

[Burgey]

tbf England have proven you can take 10 wickets on this pitch.

So, so good

 

[GIMH]

4 runs before lunch then 101 in each subsequent session

final scorecard

Cook 267*

Ballance 1
Bell 0
Roooooot 202

Any chance of rain?

 

[Spikey]

missed that first time round. great work by adub. not surprising to see him producing the goods given the work of TPC and Nev this game as well

 

[GIMH]

Cook has the best SR of any innings this series

 

[Spikey]

still possible

You need to swap Bell's score with Ballance's or Moeen's

 

[Howe_zat]

Cook currently batting with a strike rate of 400

 

[Spikey]

geez that could have gone to Nev

 

[Compton]

Given he's the only one capable of batting for 2 days, surely Root bats at 3 today?
