What time is stumps supposed to be.

 

[91Jmay]

Fair ****s to Stokes for carrying on, he actually looked good before the injury.

 

[Burgey]

About 35 minutes I think. Meant to be 98 overs today.

 

[honestbharani]

Are they paying jack Leach for this performance or is he doing it for free.

Australia should, tbh.

 

[Days of Grace]

Tuned in to catch a nice c-bomb from Head.

 

[tony p]

Any chance the England Lions team can replace this lot.
Norwell & Bess took 9 wickets between them today against Australia A.

 

[Burgey]

That's pretty well bowled by Root there, for a finger spinner.

Isn't Bess even more prone to the yips than Leach?

 

[Gnske]

Bet Joe Root hasn't even seen that Robinson has returned to the field

 

[artvandalay]

Liked this innings but he has ridden his luck a fair bit even today. Very Gilchrist esque.

I heard Stokes put him up to it. Leach backed away with his hands up saying ‘no, stop’ but Stokes couldn’t be stopped. He had red hair whilst doing so.

 

[Gnske]

Surely literally anyone else can bowl except for Stokes even with the new ball due soon.

 

[social]

Leach has bowled a lot better than Kerrigan did

Leach has just been smashed while Kerrigan couldn’t hit the pitch

 

[stephen]

What an entertaining day of cricket this has been so far.

 

[Gnske]

Burns just cost the entire game of women's cricket

Thankfully not.

 

[morgieb]

lmao was that another drop

Yeah, many a bowler has bowled similarly to Leach today and not conceded any more than the usual amount. It was a very good strategy from the Australians.

 

[Burgey]

Lol Rory Burns. It's the test match from hell.

Edit: was off those rugged, masculine, Australian forearm rather than the glove.

 

[Spark]

I mean he didn't hit it but surely Buttler has to be the one going for that?

Brought them rich dividends beyond the runs Leach has conceded with England's best bowler getting cooked too

 

[Gnske]

GOD HAS ARRIVED
