*Official* First Test (Edgbaston, Birmingham) 16–20 June

And a spell from Stokes, I feel. Could be a Flintoff in 2005/2009 kind of spell incoming.

 

[CartyDurham]

Drop the anchor Aussies and bring home a few quid for me and draw

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's very smart bowling. Shot's not as bad as it looks.

 

[CartyDurham]

My toilet break got it

 

[Spark]

It's probably time now to actually play a few shots. Desperately need to change the tempo of the game

 

[Socerer 01]

And with that he's redeemed like 5 borderline vegetative decisions that should've been permanently disgraceful

hey if it means we get more meme cricket then im all for it

 

[Nintendo]

I can't really bring myself to blame khawaja for that shot, honestly. Blokes been out there for 550+ balls across the game and fielded pretty much the whole time in both innings. You expect a tired shot eventually after all that.

 

[TimAngas]

Carey and Cummins will need to take some risks, because I think three wickets are inevitable with attacking field placings.

 

[Burgey]

So, draw it is for aus then?

Nah if they bat it out they’ll win it from here just on available time

Oh yeah it's a tired shot for sure

 

[CartyDurham]

Will Carey have a real go at scoring quick now ?

 

[Alex0paul]

This will be over quickly. Lazy shot from Khawaja but must be knackered

 

[Aidan11]

My toilet break got it

Go for another one.

 

[Cricket CoachDB]

So many twists. Stokes can't bowl yet he's taken two HUGE wickets!

 

[Howe_zat]

Director has switched the score bar from runs to win to wickets to win. Bold.

 

[Uppercut]

Ben Stokes ****ing loves a script.

 

[Niall]

A cricket match hasn't made me feel like this since the 2019 Ashes.

Bangladesh v Afghanistan last week ?

 

[RightArmMystery]

Pietersen not being able to pronounce Carey. Hitting new levels of commentary ineptitude.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I thought that was headed over the sightscreen

 

[chunksafc]

Stokes limping on the replay of the wicket. Ominous
