England really losing the plot here with the run rate now dipping below 6.

Ben Duckett doesn't have this impact in a traditional English Test Side , shows how important approach is to test cricket

This is called intent

By the time this scorecard is complete it's gonna look like another failure for Crawley.

The amount of times that Sanga has mentioned “Philosophy” is well over a 100 in this test

On TMS earlier Andy Zaltzman was talking about how (over the short sample size since his recall) his #intent as an opener is ahead of even Sehwag (with no one else close).

Will be fun watching him do it to the Aussies.

I really think England should just go for the highest Test total record , become the first team to score a 1000 cause :
A.Would only take 1 more day of batting so there would still be more than enough time for a win .
B. Be a World Record that would keep this test relevant for years to come ..
C.It would allow the test ground to get more revenue out of the Test match , 2 and a half day tests is waste of time .

D. It will ensure the team amasses a total of 1600 runs across all the tests they play this summer.

Gonna be so funny when we do exactly this to Australia.

tbf I should be balanced. It’ll probably be more like 480/5 at this point against them.

E. More batting practice ahead of the Ashes

I mean England already have enough to win by an innings , if you're gonna thrash a team atleast make it memorable.

Root going along at a pathetic 86% SR, how is this guy still playing for England??

Serious Test sides like England need a solitary cake batter to compliment the 10 icing slots.
