swear that was a foot on the rope just then

 

[CartyDurham]

Then they should have it on free to air TV

Exactly but money talks in the uk and that’s all they are interested in

We cram this series in so the pointless 100 can be played at peak school holiday time

The kids only want to see white ball cricket , this is of no interest to them

 

[GIMH]

What time was Tea meant to be, and presume it’s now been delayed anyway with Oz 9 down?

 

[Aidan11]

Now Stokes has gone.

 

[ripper868]

Would honestly love these 2 to survive until tea, then another 2-3 overs after tea, just to be annoying.

 

[Spark]

This is so stupid

 

[halba]

Stokes looks knackered

Might take the entire break to get Lyon off and on the field again

 

[Aidan11]

Jeez we just can't get one of these two out.

 

[ripper868]

Stoke cramping is part of the reason Lyon is batting, keep them where they don't want to be.

 

[CartyDurham]

Walking wounded test

 

[Howe_zat]

The difference in the sides' urgency between England declaring rather than bothering with the last two wickets on day 1 vs Lyon coming out to eke out an extra few runs here is kind of offensive

 

[hazsa19]

Probably too late for this test but I hope the umpires find a way of stopping this if it starts to develop in the rest of the series.

 

[ripper868]

why not a picnic next to the pitch

 

[halba]

big one Starc. thats it. maximum

 

[Aidan11]

They're going to put on a century stand here.

 

[CartyDurham]

Don’t mind if this lasts until lunch tomorrow

England can’t lose this test at all costs

Nothing happening

 

[mackembhoy]

This has been a horrendous day for cricket.

Utterly awful

the lack of balls at the stumps from the England bowlers is probably more a sign of england intent tbh.

 

[loterry1994]

These extra 10-20 runs could be the difference
