    Looks like Stokes is on a suicide mission

    I absolutely love Test match cricket and what a Test match this has been.

    Gutted for Lees. I really want him to succeed and he was looking so good before that silly leave. I feel like I say this after every Test but how many more chances are Crawley and Pope going to get? TBF Crawley shows flashes but Pope seems to be out in single figures every innings.

    ITHICS. We need Root to guide us to victory tomorrow because that’s a bloody long tail we have. Just hope the weather doesn’t spoil it.

    The kiwis have been going on and on about that but, for me, it’s no different to a “well if he’d edged that one” or “if he was an inch short of his crease”. All the bowlers fault

    19 now. 3 sixes and a 1 will be fine. Get Root to his ton. Surely even England can’t lose 5 for 16?

    As always, Joe Root is the key to us winning or losing.

    An excellent test match, fair play to England for digging in after blowing some great positions.

    Credit to Foakes as well. I hope he becomes a stubborn, consistent batsman for us.

    finally a couple of players who dug in and played an innings, swung better than the ball that game and far better than a couple of 300+ innings.

    yeh, they will whine about that and the not out/run out but a plus for the technology i guess.

    I absolutely love Joe Root. I follow multiple sports but he’s my favourite sportsman. Amazing cricketer and a brilliant man.

    Received a lot of criticism in the Windies but he’s kept very well in this Test and looked assured with the bat.
