*Official* Third Test (Headingley, Leeds) 6–10 July

[ripper868]

only gave up 95 runs to buy the last 3 wickets with **** bowling...ffs

 

[thierry henry]

Stokes a helluva player as long as there are no fielders within 50 metres of him

 

[ashley bach]

Murphy's not test standard. sorry. I dont rate him at all.

Todd > Milhouse

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Well that was hectic

 

[Kraken]

This Murphy is crap

haha no he’s not - not exactly helped by his captain there. As soon as he got it outside off stump he got the wicket. We all know how hard it can be to bowl to Stokes when he’s on

 

[chris.hinton]

WWW won’t be happy

 

[trundler]

@cnerd123 thinks Murphy earned that wicket by deceiving Stokes.

 

[Spark]

Oooh Stokes is in big trouble here. Wouldn't be surprised if we don't see him again after this match. Great knock though.

Stokes on one leg >>>> the rest of the pea hearts going around tbh

 

[Pothas]

26 runs feels like nothing man

Is it 'handy' still? That might end at 30.

 

[Burgey]

26 runs feels like nothing man

It’s fine. Batting in sunshine for a change.

great effort again Stokes. Ironically him having a slog saves the blushes of the guys who try to do nothing else.

 

[Number 11]

Cummins is such a mediocre captain. Ignoring the trash bowling, he also completely lost his head captaincy wise at the end there

 

[social]

Murphy did well there

Had Stokes out 3 times

I am starting to wonder what our coach actually does

 

[morgieb]

TBF Stokes batted bloody well. Wood innings was the difference - it was short enough to give Australia confidence but enough runs to disrupt the innings. Bowl normally and England probably get to 175-180 or so.

 

[Burgey]

Would have easily taken that at 11.15

I’d have taken it at 11:15 yesterday too

 

[Pothas]

Would have easily taken that at 11.15

Or at most other points during the day

 

[Spark]

Is it 'handy' still? That might end at 30.

It's certainly not nothing but it really shouldn't have been any more than 60

 

[CartyDurham]

Now the game starts again

you can assume that Robinson and stokes will not bowl

So it’s all on wood, broad, Woakes and moeen to try and give England a chance for the win

26 the lead. I feel to have a chance for England they have to bowl the Aussies out for around 230

even that would give a chance of around 30% for the win to England

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Stokes a helluva player as long as there are no fielders within 50 metres of him

Mate I was a crappy low level club batsman and even I felt godlike that one time they put everyone on the boundary to try and get the number 11 on strike. I don't get why Aus do it even on the last balls of the over

 

[G. S. Kohli]

world record is 8 catches in test

smith 5 catches if he took 3 more he will Equal A Rahane of india


congratulation Ben Stokes for 6000 test runs

 

[trundler]

Don't think Australia will lose more than 2-3 wickets by close of play. Looks good for batting out there.
