Bash got bashed. Good rearguard this. Now if england try the bazball barrage, it could get
exciting with these 2 well set

 

[CartyDurham]

Could that be classed as a chance spurned by Pope there ?

on replay it wasn’t a chance

not liking this mode of attack , short legside stuff

rules out bowled and lbw dismissal possibilities

no no no. This is reminiscent of when England get a team nine down

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Wood 43-2

@ashley bach

 

[CartyDurham]

Feel Bashir is about a foot short of a good length here so far

and he was unlucky there with a wild swipe by de silva going into open space

still persisting from wood bowling short legside stuff

it’s more a one day field now and they may as well take the stumps out as England are not bowling at them

Yep rubbish tactics these

 

[Groundking]

Good stuff from Holder and Silva this, they could have easily crumbled to a really poor score when they came in.

 

[CartyDurham]

Shoulder maybe

this field England have at the moment would be fine if it was Viv Richards 135 no with Clive Lloyd 120 n.o. at the other end

bowled and lbw are now completely out of the question and they are praying for a mistake, and then the short ball pops up and there’s no short leg

ridiculous

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is why I love test cricket. Fight!

Rolling back the years. #Bodyline

Definitely impressive fight but these tactics are poor from England . They’ve given up and are just hoping somebody hits one up in the air

It's stupid that Wood is bowling sweet chin music and there's no short-leg.

 

[CartyDurham]

Woakes back on and we may go all radical and bowl at the stumps

lovely shot by Holder to bring his 51 up 6x 4s and 1 x 6. Off 92 balls

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

We really need countdown clock between overs. This is appaling.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Contrary to some posters on this forum, we are not folding easily. We are fighting.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Wood is getting the Archer treatment (co. Root's captaincy)

 

[ashley bach]

The dreaded drinks break.

Wickets are coming in bucketloads...

Beautiful work this

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Beautiful work this

Speaking of, we are due one soon (wicket/drinks break)
