[CartyDurham]

I did warn you all when I said I was 300 miles away, it was raining.

[Shri]

****ing rain.

in june?

 

[Burgey]

They actually played really late there and didn’t chase it. Did well. If you nick one, so be it in those conditions. Being from Yorkshire. Bairstow and Root unsurprisingly both have questions to answer in relation to the dropped catch.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Having the presenters stand makes it look extra awkward when the two who aren't talking have to pretened that they're interested in what one who is is saying and they aren't bored out of their mind.

 

[CartyDurham]

umps Coming back out

if we get back on England have to take advantage of these conditions

 

[SteveNZ]

Interesting views on the dropped catch. To me, that cordon has practiced together, they know Bairstow has limitations so that is Root's catch all day long based on their formation. The issue is Root's depth on a deck has shown no great carry in it

Said it early Burgey. Dead bat by Khawaja is how to play on a lords pitch on day one. Even his edge was going down and I wanted the slips at least a foot closer

Meanwhile, my viewing has been interrupted by a caller trying to tell me my computer isn’t working. Took me ages to get him off the line but finally put the phone down.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

2 an over currently. Inspiring stuff

Come on its first hour of day 1 , pressure is on the bowling side to get wickets since this is what they elected to do first .

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

Your boys are in a bit if trouble in the championship game

Not helpful!

 

[RightArmMystery]

Take your time lads

Yeah I think could have done worse, but I would beg to differ in that they chased after a few but were lucky enough to dab them into gaps. If they had have edged any of those ones where they hung the bat out it would have looked very bad

 

[SteveNZ]

Just watched Warner's attempted lap sweep, that is the worst shot I think I've ever seen in Test history that didn't result in a dismissal

 

[Gob]

I’m selling my Tesla and personally going to burn extra fossil fuel today to protest these protesters.

These shits should be taken back room and given a good spanking. Funking shits

Yeah, they've chased heaps. Luck somewhat on their side

 

[Starfighter]

Wicket to fall soon now.

 

[sledger]

****ing Pietersen.

 

[Spark]

That "hit the stumps" line feels like one of the most misleading stats that's constantly thrown around
