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

[G. S. Kohli]

You come at the king, you best not miss.

194 more no Moeen no wood no other popular All rounder i forget his name (eng's last 3 are #11)

Broad's 169 at Lords is history

Aussies are running out of ideas

1-1 enjoy the defeat @Burgey

ah ****

 

[chris.hinton]

Normally at this point you'd the say the game is done and dusted.

But it's Stokes and Bairstow, at home, under a regime renowned for its chasing, against Chokestraya. Can't help but think...

2 best batsman in the world.

 

[Burgey]

His pull technique is amateur level and he’s a demon everywhere else. The long hop is a great delivery.

I would still have gone across him with two gullies and a backward point first up. He looks like he could nick off any time early on. If it doesn’t work, then go short to him

 

[_Ed_]

2 best batsman in the world.

Not even the best in their team, surely.

 

[GIMH]

Realistically need a 150 partnership from these two. Not impossible but a big big big ask

 

[Spark]

Lmao I complained about the commentators trying to give wides earlier but I don't think Stokes standing on his own head reaches that one.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

The fact Bairstow has played 92 tests

Four fewer tests than Adam Gilchrist. He will nearly be level at the end of the series.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

His pull technique is amateur level and he’s a demon everywhere else. The long hop is a great delivery.

He wait long enough for his chance he debut in test in 2016 but ECB not selects him dispite his A1 performsnce in County cricket

We will hear more about him soon.

 

[Son Of Coco]

ah ****

[chris.hinton]

Bairstow has the look of someone who knows he’s winning the test

Why the goat Lyon not bowling

 

[halba]

basically need 1 more wicket, ideally Stokes.
186 runs REQ, there are only bowlers to come
Stokes has done this before- @ headingley, a similar target.

 

[Burgey]

M8 pls

 

[Smudge]

I'm glad that Duckett is out, if only for the fact that I no longer have to look at his face that reminds me of a snot-nosed kid villain from the Whizzer and Chips comics.

 

[Aidan11]

If anyone can pull off a miracle it's Stokes and Bairstow.

Cometh the hour...

The Flaming redheads are not going to let that happen

He's done a good job winning the series for Oz with his keeping
