If Duckett was a foot taller he might’ve had a chance

 

[TigerCraig]

That's better

 

[chickenonachain]

Holding, Garner, Andy Roberts, Brian Lara, Roget Harper possibly best fielder ever... awesome list that goes on and on

Michael Holdings nickname Whispering death says it all

Bairstow moves up for injured Pope

In comes Foakes

 

[BRAB]

Pitch is looking pretty docile though right?

We might want to set a bigger total than expected here just to be sure. They’ll still try to chase it as they’ve completely drunk the Baz Ball Kool Aid

 

[JP Sauce]

Lol athers getting into duckett’s height challenge

"One of the shorter players in the England side"

Sure, if you count bats as players.

 

[smasha]

Souvenaid snake oil?

 

[Joffaboy]

Why are we playing like England?

Yes need to settle and let them bowl themselves out. Pretty weird to play them like they are.

I am LOVING the Poms resorting to (erratic) short-pitched bowling.

They'll tire themselves out more quickly!

Only real option to be fair. I’m hoping there is a bit more juice in the next few pitches. Don’t find this to be the most entertaining cricket.

 

[danstar]

dumb batting. We just need to get to 500 around stumps then spend day 5 bowling

We'll be looking at 400+

Looks like we are upping the anti. Either a flurry of runs or a wicket coming. Head could also come in and hit a quick 50 and put the game out of reach

Then there's guys like Croft and King on the bench

I'd love to see it but they'd go for Lawrence.

"One of the shorter players in the England side"

Sure, if you count bats as players.

Then went on to say in his muted style that any other player in the side would have caught that

 

[CrowBloke]

They'll be cooked by lunch. No Broad yet. Is he out there?

Dunno, was wondering same. Anybody got an update?

 

[11kgm]

Surprised County scouts aren't tapping up every young Caribbean boy more that has a great, great grandmother that visited Britain once.

Archer Jordan Im sure they are more

He's there but his jaw is sore

Bairstow

Archer was frightening. Not sure he’ll make it back though

 

[Snarls Barkley]

He fielded the one where Smith fell over swatting it.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Nah he's done

Will be a T20 mercenary

 

[Santana]

Have to aim for at least 450. Punter is right, this pitch won't be that bad to bat on tomorrow

 

[TigerCraig]

YJB wouldnt drop the hot dog
