If YJB, Stokes and Mo can keep this rate up for the rest of the session it'll be game over.

 

[Cubiscus]

We have a similar law I believe, but don't think any cricket is covered (though the two WC finals were shown on C4)

It doesn't cover major cricket events unfortunately.

 

[Croadymeister]

Imo 250, but I’m wanting at least 280 lead

250 or below , I think the Aussies will get that

Has to be 300+ for me because you know Labuschagne & Smith aren't failing next time,hey Warner might well deliver this time as well

Everyone knows that the easiest way to slow down the run rate is to take wickets

Except our brains trust apparently

Please don't tempt fate

Could be correct. I’m hoping england don’t blow so many catches etc . Aussies could have been nearly out of this game already if England hadn’t dropped , missed stumping and a no ball

wow he took forever there

umpires call I think so out

 

[Spark]

Holy **** that might be the longest delay before raising the finger that I've seen.

Reckon he's hit this too

Well the run rate will stay the same. Up to the crims to do something to get people out.

 

[Spikey]

That just goes to show if you beg the ump might give it out

 

[CartyDurham]

.

umpires call in Aussie favour here . I think he’s out though

 

[social]

Nah, that looks plumb

 

[Son Of Coco]

Having tears in your eyes also helps.

 

[CartyDurham]

.

no knick for me . Could only be glove

got to be umpires call at worst

 

[Spark]

Well shows what I know. What's he doing referring that?

 

[CartyDurham]

.

three reds, I thought it was out live

yet again the rollercoaster of up and downs continues

lead 203

494 wickets for Lyon is truly outstanding. An all time great spinner

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well shows what I know. What's he doing referring that?

We had 3. Hadn't wasted any unlike Cummins.

 

[CartyDurham]

Well shows what I know. What's he doing referring that?

It’s the game really though. england last real top batsman

 

[CartyDurham]

Time for Moeen to bat for an hour or so

 

[slowfinger]

please Moeen just don't get out to Lyon ffs
