What happened there? They were cruising then once a wicket fell others followed, good morning with the ball though.

Gonna be a low scoring affair. England to get a lead of 50 or so I reckon. A big innings from a player on either side will make the difference.

After today's wicket fest, that's a very optimistic prediction!

Bowling was very good.Young Potts has had a great debut so far.
Batting meh.Usual england collapse.

This is ageing well...

Even as I typed the above, we were all out with a lead of 9. Pathetic batting display.

Bowlers doing a magnificent job again. I'd be a bit worried if I had tickets for day 3 at this point.

Bin the hundred and get two day internationals/ 50/50s going, hundred overs each split into two innings. That might actually be quite fun!

The last 2-day test at Lords was in 1888....

New Ball is working quite well for ENG.

Oh my. 4 down in the run chase -which is not looking good - and Stokes is bowled with a No-Ball !!!

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

In the race against the new ball, I ended up with
one out and a rout or
two in and a win.
Century for Root, 10,000 runs, 1st 4th innings century.

Played Root!

Bizarre coincidence that both he and Cook were the same age, to the day, when they passed 10,000
