#spookedI'm already thinking the best they can hope for is get out of Lord's with a draw and the series still to play for.

Not if your fridge is empty and it’s that or nothingThat is grim.
In all seriousness in that case I honestly hope they just bat and bat and bat and bat. Don't even think about declaring until the light is fading tomorrow. There's another Test starting in just over a week and when you get an opportunity to grind the opposition bowlers into the ground you take it. We've a looooong way from that though.Got through the tough period, the pitch looks flat now. 350-3 at close looks on the cards.....although obviously they'd declare with 20 mins to go!!
The umpires have tried to help but they’ve been found wanting twice as wellWe just haven't been good enough with the ball or in the field. Not enough balls in the right areas, too many no balls and when we have found the edge, we've grounded the catch.
Only plus point was Tongue.
Could be worse - in that Test as Brisbane Aus were 1/330 at one point!200-2 is about as bad as it can realistically get after you send the opposition in to bat on a cloudy morning.
Bloke never lacked for competitiveness and being willing to call out the bowling tbfBlimey, KP off the long run at Tea and for once he's spot on.
6down elsewhereIs it too early to shake hands on the draw?

Not entirely sure how many of these bowlers will be at Leeds. Wood, Woakes, Potts and Moeen might be a better combo.In all seriousness in that case I honestly hope they just bat and bat and bat and bat.

Yeah that's a fair point, but honestly putting miles into the legs of the batsmen is a thing too. Warner and Labuschagne basically broke KW mentally for one series simply by batting forever and making NZ stew in the field.Not entirely sure how many of these bowlers will be at Leeds. Wood, Woakes, Potts and Moeen might be a better combo.
But totally agree, if you get the chance to make 600, you go for it.
Potts is 2 for 56 at Leicester today for DurhamNot entirely sure how many of these bowlers will be at Leeds. Wood, Woakes, Potts and Moeen might be a better combo.

Yeah it's not quite as bad as a Warner double ton on day one but given the conditions and how h4x England's seamers typically are in them, this is as embarrassing an outing as I can recall. England should be in a way better position even with their second choice attack here.Could be worse - in that Test as Brisbane Aus were 1/330 at one point!
Skint man. Cutbacks , too expensiveGet a takeaway
why not pick Dawson when he scores 100 and takes 10ferNot entirely sure how many of these bowlers will be at Leeds. Wood, Woakes, Potts and Moeen might be a better combo.
