More like it WI 117-6 ... we might yet get a result. A decent pitch at long last.

Don’t think it matters WHO coaches England: until they find enough players with the skill, technique, application and attitude to play for 5 demanding days at Test level, they might just as well pick any sports teacher at any comprehensive school somewhere in the country.
Or just do away with red-ball cricket altogether and reap the rewards of ‘Quick Cricket’ cos that’s the format the governing body is more interested in. 💰💷💶 😡

Extras is England's top scorer at tea.
Embarrassing.
At least there will be a result in this match. The previous two have been attritional stuff which is not good in a world where test cricket is struggling.

"This just feels like England have lost the plot."
You're not wrong Aggers.

And the England players were ‘sledging’ Da Silva for batting slowly whilst making his hundred.
They should just f*****g concentrate on trying to play their own game. Wa*kers! 😡

Every time we are in a losing position(often!) you can bet someone will sprout this usual nonsense 
England assistant coach Marcus Trescothick, speaking to BBC Sport: "It is disappointing - we've had a tough day. The guys are pretty despondent at the moment but we'll look at it and try to learn from the mistakes we've made and try and be better when our next opportunity comes around in the summertime.

You would put money on ONE of the pressure players to stand up and boss a session at least.
Root, Stokes, Bairstow, 2 runs between them.
Not taking anything away from the WI bowlers. Leach et al need to break records today ... how has it got to this?
