*Official* Third Test (Headingley, Leeds) 6–10 July

[Spark]

Holy **** Bairstow what are you doing. That would have been beyond embarrassing.

 

[Bahnz]

Very well in the end.

 

[social]

Lol

That’s Bairstow’s catch

 

[Alex0paul]

Slog now and get them in tonight

 

[Socerer 01]

Head should go rogue

 

[chunksafc]

Well that was interesting

 

[Bahnz]

Lol

That’s Bairstow’s catch

Faulty assumption here being that Bairstow can catch.

 

[ripper868]

legit would consider just declaring now and make england bat in this ****. becasue doubtless it'll be full sunshine and a T20 pitch tomorrow.

 

[Aidan11]

3 to go.

 

[Spark]

Will say that at least they haven't gotten stuck. If they'd lost 3 - which could have happened anyway - but not moved the scoreboard forward then this game would be over. As it is there's a thin possibility if they put on another 30 somehow.

Assuming of course that tomorrow is a bit sunnier and friendlier for batting than today. If it's like this then all bets are off.

 

[mackembhoy]

Sky commentary wrong on that. Bairstow definitely bottled that.

 

[Socerer 01]

Bairstow you unfit **** you could have got there jogging

 

[loterry1994]

Need another 50 somehow at least

 

[CartyDurham]

Nearly a right old balls up there but it ended well

this total is still going to be hard one to achieve

the trend of the late order Aussies wickets falling quick is continuing

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Chris Woakes gives Captain America vibes

O captain, my captain!

 

[trundler]

Faulty assumption here being that Bairstow can catch.

He can as long as he doesn't have to move much or react quickly

 

[91Jmay]

He can as long as he doesn't have to move much or react quickly

Good traits in a wicket keeper

 

[Bahnz]

Woakes makes such a massive difference to this England team. No way Anderson should be getting back into the side for the rest of the series.

 

[trundler]

Good traits in a wicket keeper

Isn't he actually a great outfielder/catcher when not keeping? Recall him taking blinders in ODIs.

Yeah he was a very good outfielder
