2nd Test, Lord's, London

[OverratedSanity]

I had decided Buttler has a more punchable face than Root or Roy. Just looks a complete ****.

Then he stood there having a giggle with stokes when a bloke got sconed and confirmed it for me. Arsehole

Most of the English side have very punchable faces. Woakes is kinda cute tho

 

[trundler]

Broad Hazlewood Hadlee O'Reilly

What does this bowling attack have in common

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

250 is up...A challenging draw it will be

 

[old_kookaburra]

They make those bats in Dehli?

Nah, Chandigargh

 

[Starfighter]

He may not have but he has given us what Moeen and Rashid can never do and that is control. He should play for a while now.

I agree, but there go Somerset's hopes of ever winning the Championship.

 

[stephen]

I think next test England should drop Archer, promote Wokes to opener and swap Ali with Leach.

objectively wrong

i have no idea what the mitigating circumstances could possibly be but ben stokes is clearly entirely at fault and somerset still > all

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nah, Chandigargh

Oh great..how far away is that from Chennai?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Smith isn’t on his way to hospital. If he comes to field I’m emigrating.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

And out!

 

[stephen]

Trailing by 8 is much better than it could have been.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Why is Jonny boi hugging up Chris?

 

[Starfighter]

Ah well, better than it could have been. Though worse than it could have been with Smith under a cloud now.

Broad has bowled very well.

 

[trundler]

Bit of a wonder how England still managed a lead. Broad has completely turned his bowling around lately.

Hope England cop it.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Can see an England collapse here. This is a very awkward situation to come out to bat.

 

[morgieb]

Why did Bairstow just hug the umpire?

Very fun session. Time looks like the enemy of the game but with both sides having extremely fragile batting lineups (and Australia now probably without Smith) it's interesting to see how this game progresses. Are England prepared to lose to win?

 

[Starfighter]

Smith isn’t on his way to hospital. If he comes to field I’m emigrating.

Where to? Tierra del Fuego is nice at this time of the year.

 

[Tangles]

Smith our for less than 140. Victory for England there.

Paine some runs to distract from Wade like keeping.
