alistair It’s piss poor and we were in the driving seat for once. Imagine if that was the World Cup final?
Great start by England this. Broad leading by example. Unplayable at times
Just stuck it on, 105-6.
Great start.
Bess gets five!
Forgot it started today - WFH is starting to look up! Double Screen Centrale. Happy days
Along_the_Wire glad to be of service, we cricket lovers need to stick together
Jees, this is a low scoring pitch. Bowlers paradise.
alistair Jees, this is a low scoring pitch. Bowlers paradise.
Love tests like this mind.
Its Sri Lanka, they only do slow scoring or low scoring
Mad_Cyril looks lovely out there. Beach and harbour next to the pitch.
Along_the_Wire Me too, you can’t keep your eyes off it. You wouldn’t want tickets for the fourth of fifth day mind. It looks beautiful out there
Root looks well set.
Should convert this into a ton.
Smallman1 Bairstow too who has been in terrific form of late
Great to see Joe Root filling his boots. World class on his day
alistair Shame he’s not world class more often!
Along_the_Wire His test average of just below 50 suggests he is
Hope this is a start of a return to form for Root.
Break back into the top 4 best batsmen in the world.
alistair The last three years?
Agree, been poor for a few years by his own standards. Pretty sure he’s admitted as much.
Be nice if he pushed on again, doesn’t look like this Sri Lanka team is up to much so doubt a few easy runs here puts him in the top bracket
Could really do with getting one these cunts out toot sweet.
We literally just did.
