[flibbertyjibber]

Ok brilliant and all but why aren’t we slogging?

Clearly looking like there is no declaration tonight

Root put his whites on so would be odd if they didn't

 

[Howe_zat]

Very similar so far with this Eng vs Pak test 4 years ago. Eng 4/314 on day 1 and then 8/589(dec) on day 2 with Root making 254 and Cook a hundred.

Annoyingly I remember this Test mainly for the near apoplectic level of whinge that accompanied England's decision to not enforce the follow on before they won with a day to spare. It was the dumbest god damn thing.

 

[91Jmay]

I'm not normally a declaration hawk but this is dumb. Absolutely no reason for Broad to bat.

 

[Howe_zat]

Very practical knock from from Woakes. Been a good summer with the bat for him

There is always a reason to watch Broad bat.

 

[honestbharani]

Surely even @Uppercut loves a Woakesy cover-drive.

Got nothing on Vince though...

Was that Scaly losing the plot?

Can’t wait for covid to **** off

 

[Neptune]

Declare Root, declare.

 

[91Jmay]

Old Yasir Sharisbury taking a bit of stick

 

[vcs]

Seems like they really want that 600.

 

[honestbharani]

Wasim on comms: Against the spin, against one of the best spinners in the world, not doing well this game...

 

[MW1304]

Why does anyone care if we declare or not? Makes little to no difference. Jeez just enjoy all the damn runs.

Nah was all Sky would talk about as well. Drove me bananas.

I'm sure they're just as bad now which is why I've muted it

 

[hazsa19]

Ward keeps saying 13 overs to bowl but they can only play till 7 can’t they?

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'm not normally a declaration hawk but this is dumb. Absolutely no reason for Broad to bat.

No, me neither but reckon we went on at least six overs too far there.

At least we were spared Warne on commentary though. His "I can't see why they don't declare" refrain would've been grating, even if I agreed with him.

 

[honestbharani]

@hazsa19 Someone said 7:30 on commentary.

 

[honestbharani]

So Shane Warne is now a fixture on comms for the English season, like Mikey Holding?

Ha, I thought you meant on here.
