England will be devastated.

i think england are just two more ducks away from equalling their own world record of the most number of ducks in a calendar year...will they make it happen? discuss.

If there are 3 more duck eggs in this innings, then it's a well deserved record for the English.
2 more and it's a well deserved tie. Perhaps we can go to a boundary count back.
reckon there'll only be 1 more today and they fall just short, but don't rule them out, this teams capable of achieving anything miserable at the moment.

England to bat the whole day today

 

[GIMH]

bumrah has 97 wickets at 21.45

...in 3 years

Away from home?

 

[Xix2565]

Away from home?

Yes. He first played at home this year vs Eng and has only 4 so far out of his current tally of 101. He debuted in SA in the 2017-2018 tour and had only played away till Chennai this year.

 

[Alex0paul]

Beautiful day for batting

 

[Spikey]

Joe Root is playing at everything

 

[Spikey]

What a guy

 

[Burgey]

Starc stepping up like the God we all know he can be.

 

[morgieb]

lmao Warne talks up England, then Starc clean bowls Stokes.

 

[TimAngas]

That's really disappointing as a cricket fan.

 

[Pothas]

Well it was a decent 20 minutes.

 

[Gnske]

Leader of the attack

 

[Gob]

Eat a dick, Shane

 

[Alex0paul]

Quick 30 from Bairstow

 

[Pothas]

Remember when Bairstow averaged over 40.

 

[Bahnz]

Well that’s a shame for the neutral viewer

 

[Woodster]

Positive start today from England, wasn’t going to be long before any optimism was dragged away from us. Good nut from Starc mind.

 

[Gnske]

Think Stokes would have connected if he was drunk?

 

[hazsa19]

Was that a great ball like Gower is making out? Looked like a strange shot
