*Official* First Test (Edgbaston, Birmingham) 16–20 June

[CartyDurham]

Wow what happened there

big shot really hard chance

 

[AVA]

Lights looking a little bad out there. I'd go off just to be safe.

 

[chris.hinton]

Game over

 

[artvandalay]

Khawaja got stuck today. Needed to have scored at least 20 more than he did and it would have made England more nervous. Game felt like it was not going anywhere for some time.

 

[Nintendo]

KP wishes he was Ian Bishop but he's so clearly not. That was forced as it gets.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

One more needed. Surely then that's it

 

[Aidan11]

Life's never dull with Bazball.

 

[CartyDurham]

Go for another one.

Might upset the Man City fan

he’s a bit tetchy , I’ll have one to celebrate

 

[Howe_zat]

Director has switched the score bar from runs to win to wickets to win. Bold.

Switches it back

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Get on with the ****ing game.

Quit stalling

 

[CartyDurham]

.
74%. Win England

generous

been ages since a review

 

[OverratedSanity]

Switches it back

Good. You literally never need to show wickets to win. The score gives you that information anyway.

 

[Cricket CoachDB]

that was the most lethargic wicket i've ever witnessed. poor cricket all round.

Like two boxers out on their feet in the final round.

 

[Nintendo]

Carey for the love of god put the reverse away. Nearly got bowled around his legs.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Root has bowled well.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Shut the **** up KP

 

[Uppercut]

It's probably time now to actually play a few shots. Desperately need to change the tempo of the game

I’m sure they’ll get pelters for it but it’s hard to root for Australia when they fly the flag for negative cricket from start to finish. They’re not even playing normal cricket. It’s like they’ve gone anti-Bazball out of principle.

 

[honestbharani]

My toilet break got it

Keep going

 

[silentstriker]

I’ve watched every moment of this game but I wasn’t really thinking I was rooting for anyone.

Well I am making biryani right now and I literally jumped up and cheered (and burned myself) when Stokes took that wicket.

So I guess that answers that.

 

[Spark]

Green is the only batsman that has seemed comfortable with the slowness of the deck. I'm not sure what Carey is trying out there
