Always knew this was going to be a panic station, no matter what. That was as meek a start England would have hoped for. Panic written all over it. When lots rides on you is when you see the true nature. Sometimes it is important to respect the conditions and game situations.

The negative side of that run out is that macewell might have saved his test spot for another 3 or 4 more series

payback for macewell, might take some shine off that embarrassment yesterday

Cricketweb being a place filled with nerds, most here would have watched Planet Earth season 1 some years ago. You would have seen the amazing story of the ant-infecting fungus that takes over the brain of its ant prey, causing it to climb to the top of the nearest plant where it becomes paralysed before a perfect mushroom erupts out of its body.

And that's how Sodhi the Ophiocordyceps camponoti-floridani caused the runout of Harry Brook despite the apparent distance of hundreds of kilometres between them.

that certainly changed the complexion of this game but root and stokes can still knock this off fairly comfortably for england...

Now the problem for Stokes is he has to slog again and live up to nothing to lose sort of mindset but if required to bat sensibly he may have forgotten to bat sensibly by now meaning which at some point in time he's going to throw the bat and if he doesn't connect he will be gone.
