*Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

[Spark]

Still looks to be enough there, that's moved appreciably

 

[CartyDurham]

i thought irony was supposed to be funny but maybe English culture of humor is different

Stop thinking I’m being literal and we may progress

as with others on here, they play to get people biting

I’m not even trying but there are a couple diving in all guns blazing at me

unlucky Tongue there

this is quality batting against mediocre bowling. England desperately need a breakthrough

Totally agree

 

[CartyDurham]

Those drinks would have cost around £30 minimum

he’s wobbling.

 

[trundler]

Stokes owes his team a lot more runs if he's going to bowl this much worse than Root

 

[CartyDurham]

What the hell was that dross

 

[Spark]

That's Ollie Robinson pace!

He probably shouldn't be bowling at all tbh

 

[CartyDurham]

Is that one for the over?

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

I'm wondering when England last won a Test when not playing a frontline spinner, it's a strategy that never seems to end well.

Won in Jo'berg in 2020 with a bowling attack of Broad/SCurran/Woakes/Wood/Stokes/[Root/Denly].

 

[chris.hinton]

At least we stemed the flow of runs

As it goes for four byes

been there mate. This is diabolical stuff now

 

[Spark]

23 extras is a hell of a lot in just over a session and a half equivalent

 

[Socerer 01]

get Foakes in for the love of god

 

[chris.hinton]

4 byes.... come on now

 

[honestbharani]

Pope off with a concussed shoulder so Foakes can now come on and keep

Just Jadeja it.

 

[CartyDurham]

How can I get a wicket ?

im not literal here just desperate

Smith will score 200 easy

 

[CartyDurham]

It basically poor cricket by England.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

This bloke called Extras is becoming a key player for Australia I tell you , he's outscored Khawaja this innings

 

[honestbharani]

England definitely rattled by the result of the last game. Been all over the place both with the soundbytes and their bowling and fielding today.
