*Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

[halba]

Stokes is one of the greatest hitters and test match finishers of all time.

 

[Burgey]

Hilarious and intense session all at once. Love it

 

[kevinw]

This match is delicately poised

Stokes has got to score another hundred runs whilst not exposing the tail to too many balls. It will be a gallant effort but can't see it happening

 

[Gnske]

Oh no one of the cretins in the Long room made Usman turn around.

I'm sure all them in there are leftists

 

[Son Of Coco]

Listen to these Pimm's and lemonade sipping ****wits.

Pull your ties a little tighter.

 

[RandySpinner]

interesting session, my only issue is huckster got himself out too easily. bairstow isn't very smart

 

[Saket1209]

Aus should start with starc

 

[subshakerz]

Love this booing. We need more of this.

 

[Ashes81]

Even the members in the long room giving the aussies some stick

 

[halba]

if they cant get stokes out, they will lose the match

 

[social]

That was atrocious from Cummins

It’s a slow pitch, a tiny ground & bouncer attack never fkn works for Australia in the 2nd innings

Not to mention that Green is a swing bowler

 

[morgieb]

If the Poms had another hour they probably would be a good chance of winning.

The lunch break came at a great time for Australia. We had lost the plot hard.

And yeah, if this was at Edgbaston Australia might've been stabbed.

 

[Alex0paul]

He’s slogged a few and now he’s a genius

"Even with Green in the team, this total is safe"

 

[Shri]

some probable tory **** in the long room said something to khawaja

should be investigated. can't have been hello

 

[CartyDurham]

I thought I was going to have a nice relaxing afternoon after a lovely Roast Beef Sunday lunch

now I’m racked with tension

gotta love cricket

 

[Neil Young]

rich of Broad to talk about being remembered for controversial things

What controversy has Broad been involved in?

 

[Gnske]

Cummins made two mistakes

1. Persisting with bowling short
2. Bowling his most limp-dicked bowler with Stuart Broad at the crease

 

[halba]

Stokes has got to score another hundred runs whilst not exposing the tail to too many balls. It will be a gallant effort but can't see it happening

Yep close to a hundred on his own. the tail will be lucky to get 30-40 all up
Its certainly possible, given the kind of form he is in today.

Cam Green is pretty disappointing imho. Totally hittable.
