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

[Burgey]

Root needs to make up his mind whether he buys into the carefree bullshit mindset that nothing matters or whether he wants to go back to being a proper test cricketer and give a **** like he just did there.

 

[MW1304]

Gotta skittle these here.

 

[Anil]

Aus in trouble now...

 

[loterry1994]

England back in front. Lol bairstow and root catching behind the stumps what are they doing today

 

[ripper868]

Think we might be in a spot of bother here. 400 feels very par score tbh, and we still a long way from that

 

[loterry1994]

Starc and the others need to just bat smart and play around Carey don’t think they need to play that rash

 

[91Jmay]

Reckon a proper short leg has a chance at that, Root too tall/rising too much but it went through his legs.

Nah I think it’s a fair bit less than that mate, been made to look that way by some ordinary bowling middle session to a bloke playing a career knock and some woeful catching.

400 is absolutely not par if the ball is going to keep decking around like this

400 is nothing when we've got the offspin Magilla himself batting at no 10

To be seen though. This pitch will flatten on day 2

Ta, I've been in and out meetings all day, so assumed if Marsh can do it, anyone could.

 

[loterry1994]

How Root is still at slips is the funniest thing I seen today

 

[CartyDurham]

400 was well and truly looking on about 40 mins ago

and another one goes

Didn't last time around and this looks juicier

 

[RightArmMystery]

Smart from Wood, hit the stumps, don't give Bairstow and Root the opportunity to drop it

 

[human]

holy **** that was an absolute cracker
