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

[Burgey]

Gee what an endorsement this is of the Next Bradman...

 

[Uppercut]

Why did he keep walking a mile outside off and playing across his front pad? I don’t remember him doing that in the first two tests.

[Woodster]

On a day where reviews could be crucial, Duckett‘s review of a straightforward decision was ridiculous!

 

[fredfertang]

Good decision to put Mo in - let's hope he silences the knockers

 

[Alex0paul]

Moeen Ali at 3 is brave and revolutionary

 

[ataraxia]

Ok so Moeen now is sort of random decision I like but here it seems eh, Bazball and all. It seems like if he scores some runs it won't benefit England much whereas if he gets out quickly then they're in a bit of a muddle

 

[Bahnz]

Well this is ****ing daft.

He and Warner both seem to have lost their off stumps this test. Warner batted ok-ish first test and a half then changed his guard and has gone back to being pish since. Duckett there looked all over the shop too.

Probably trying to counter getting out caught behind or slip which he has lots this summer.

Bazball Moeen

 

[halba]

moeen in, no waste of a batter atleast if hes out

 

[Qlder]

England Spooked!

Moeen at 3 so Brook can go back to 5 and Bairstow back to 7...spooked

 

[Burgey]

I think Moeen has a wedding so has to leave early. Is available next weekend all day though.

 

[halba]

this could be over very quickly with a few 4's.

 

[Calm_profit]

Crawley is looking nervous

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So who bats 3 at Old Trafford then? Mo or Brook or someone else?

Well boundaries usually mean a smaller total is reached quicker.

I think Warner just always needs a big chunk of luck to get through Broad’s opening spell. After that he looks ok-ish. But here he didn’t get it.

 

[White Ball]

To quote Michael Vaughan it’s going to be an arse nipper
