Hope Woakes is back for next Test. Wood is just not up to it at all.

 

[ImpatientLime]

even his pace is meh since i've turned on. averaging around 84/85.

don't get it at all. not an international standard bowler at the moment.

 

[ImpatientLime]

meme dismissal!

 

[Bijed]

Is Wood looking noticeably worse than in the previous test? Just wondering whether his previous issue of not really being able to do back to back tests is still a thing?

He was crap in last Test.

 

[ImpatientLime]

looks down on pace. he's getting nice reverse but its too short and gentle to really threaten.

 

[91Jmay]

Get a spinner on and tempt them to go big. Wood just bowling slow, rubbish.

Yeah, I know he didn't bowl well last time, but what I meant was does it look like he's doing badly here because he's not physically recharged from last time, or is he looking fresh enough but just bowling badly

How is this boring troll not banned?

Might be time to take off Stokes too, a few overs of Moeen/Dawson before the new ball?

 

[MW1304]

This has been a classic Stokes bowling performance. Would like to see some of that tight line we got in Bangladesh again.

 

[fredfertang]

I hope these two are flattering to deceive

 

[91Jmay]

Still think this is a pretty good pitch to bat on, and an overall excellent Test wicket. Something in it for everyone, and should turn a little on day 4/5

When I 'm president I'm going to build a great wall make you pay for it and ban you from entering the country

After your cricket revolution or before?

 

[MW1304]

Give Jennings the new ball.

 

[91Jmay]

Reckon 350 is about par on here, it's not a bad deck to bat on at all but bowlers interested throughout as it is swinging a bit.

Great Test wicket.

 

[MW1304]

Philander is going to score runs against us every time isn't he.

 

[Scaly piscine]

The thing with a pitch like this is it's so slow that it makes the bowler's margin for error much smaller.

So calling the par score is very difficult.
