Disappointing so far but they've bowled well.

I’d say ‘disappointing’ is a bit of an understatement. ‘Oh how disappointing that our cruise ship’s hit an iceberg.’

Quiz question just posed by Bumble on commentary: Only one other pair, aside from Dowrich and Holder have posted century stands for the 6th, 7th and 8th wickets in Test cricket. Who are the other pair?

I was very annoyed when the answer was given because I was so close! :lol: :x He did however give out a clue (before he gave some rather unsubtle hints):

Clue:
Just like Holder and Dowrich, one of the pair was a wicket keeper, the other was an all-rounder


Answer:
Lance Klusener and Mark Boucher

I went with Pollock instead of Klusener :(

Fair play to Jason Holder, he’s having a grand old time out there.

Close your eyes and you'd think you're watching Match of the Day listening to this ginger bloke.

TalkSport? I’ve defected to Guerilla Cricket. Except not at the moment, it’s too painful.

Does anyone think England will get past tea today?

Tbh the venom looks to have disappeared. Great opportunity to make runs.

The deck has flattened out but you know that if a wicket goes down early then England will fold like a £5 deck chair.

If Denly lasts 84 balls in either innings I’ll eat my proverbial hat.

What about 84 balls over both innings?

I'd drop Moeen for Leach and Rashid out for Broad.

Leach really should be our frontline spinner, Moeen no longer offers anything with the bat to offset his bowling inferiority.
