I suppose, reminded me of one of those reviews you end up seeing out of desperation when a guy is on a ton+ and your team is utterly demoralised without much going for the review.
I dunno, there's a noise there, I could see why they did it, it looks terrible when you see the ultra-slow, but I felt they had to go for it myself. Game-winning if out I reckon.

Crawley is a top order bat though, so he could be more comfortable at 3 than 4. I do see the reservations, because Denly does a job, but that dismissal just makes me wonder if it's become mental about going on now.

I think though, if Zak can get over 70 I reckon they'll go with him, and it's probably right.

Think Bess and Denly may play a part on the final day though, which could change things, bit of turn here, can only imagine it will get worse, with the sun out .
I think I'd rather have Root bowl than Denly in a 4th innings scrap anyway though.

It's also not their last review and they get them back in 10 overs so there was very little to lose.

I'd forgotten about getting all three back with the second new ball. That makes it absolutely the right call unless some very odd things happen in the next ten overs.

New ball is either going to get him out or Stokes is going to start pinging it to the boundary. Don't think the second new ball is ever a non-event for him.

This is where you miss the crowd, after tea on a saturday, Stokes hitting boundaries, the crowd (even at Southampton) would be roaring.
