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

[Burgey]

That’s a beauty. Ball still swinging

 

[Spark]

Anyway the tail isn't last long against this, hit out and get bowling

 

[Gob]

Well this isn't ideal

Need to get 300 somehow

 

[Socerer 01]

heckling captain climate huh

 

[91Jmay]

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

Decking is a bit of an exaggeration, around 300 is par IMO given speed of outfield and how nice it is to time the ball. Basically every player has sweetly hit a few boundaries.

 

[human]

headingly ***** still booing

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

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

To be fair he's been our best slip fielder by miles over the past few years. Just having a total 'mare today.

 

[CartyDurham]

Didn't last time around and this looks juicier

I agree but forty mins ago it was well on

this is England really coming back into the game

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This booing just getting boring. Awful sounding

 

[loterry1994]

Thay marsh wicket was everything everyone else looked average

Timing is because of the pace of the pitch though which with the movement is good for the bowlers

Itstl

 

[RightArmMystery]

Wood's seam position has been superb today, consistently swung the ball, which at his pace is deadly.

Cya Pat. Wood gets another.

 

[trundler]

Was this new version of Wood born without a father because he's immaculate

 

[human]

wood's run up takes forever

 

[Gob]

Well this was always on the cards

 

[CartyDurham]

That was a superb ball by wood

and another one goes

 

[Socerer 01]

this dude is clearly the difference

 

[RightArmMystery]

Cummins didn't even get near that

 

[Burgey]

That’s the way to KO the tail
