Was a great day at Headingley, despondent morning, ecstatic afternoon, evenly balanced at close! Burnt knees and nose but a grand day out. Two early wickets this morning please.

Pleased to hear it, although you can't have seen much of our best Test batsman in the world.

At least you got some Stokesy action.

The crowd are having to make their own amusement until play resumes.


I believe play has resumed.










Fair play to the old bill for joining in

Without Stokes or Marsh this would be a very low scoring match.

... Marsh out for 28 just now!

Well that went as well as England could have hoped. Good knock from Head. England definitely ahead now but who knows what tomorrow will bring!

Definitely have a fighting chance of winning this one. Which I didn’t think was possible halfway through day 2.

High praise! Maybe the series ain't over ...

England have a chance if they play test cricket. I still don't make them favourites to win this. I'd love to be wrong.

Good T20 win at Lords! Lets hope we get another England win in Leeds. (Should do?)

 

[Beebo]

Hmm.
Not looking good now. Bairstow throws his wicket away.

 

[yello]

Nope. Shouldn't be losing this but managing to anyway.

 

[Beebo]

Getting close.
We really should win from here.
34 runs to go.

Last time I came in from gardening I caused a flurry of England wickets.

This time I hit the winning runs. It's a funny old game, gardening.

 

[yello]

A little too close for comfort for me. I'm sure an exciting watch (i.e. tense) for those watching but I felt England should have made an easier job of it. Congrats to Brook for doing the turn that got them to the line.

 

[geocycle]

Never in doubt, just closer than needed!
