Oh ffs Bairstow that's clueless. That was probably gonna be Jamieson's last ball of this spell. Trying to hit every single ball for 4 like a 20/20 game. There doesn't seem to be many brains in that England batting line up. Long tail to come so realy it's now down to Root and Stokes, not like we haven't heard that before !
114/4...... 165 more to win.....think I'd rather be in New Zealand's position as they know they realistically only need to get Root and Stokes out to win the game......
Think he was trying to get out of the way of it, just didn't get his hands low enough and the ball seemed to follow him........
77 to win, 5 wickets, infinite time. Any other team…. Excellent day for young Strolls to have been at Lords.
Superb from Root, can the remaining few stay with him and help us get over the line. Gonna be very tense tomorrow morning !
It's a shame Root has to start again tomorrow. Once he's in the groove like that he tends to just keep on scoring. First hour will be incredibly tense.
Yep, couldn't see him getting out tonight and in the morning the bowlers will be fresh. You feel as if they get 1 they'll get all 5 with who we have left to come in. Foakes needs to get a few more runs and not put it all on Root. Fingers crossed
Proper Test Match cricket...... the ebb and flow can not be replicated in any other sport........ Tomorrow morning should be a cracker, both teams can sense victory........ Must admit I didn't think it would get to Day 4 after the 1st Day shenanagins........
Yep it looked unlikely, bet Stroller thoroughly enjoyed the day and got to see some excellent stuff. Hope he didn't have one too many and fell out of the Edrich Stand !
Now that would be an anticlimax ! Surely get in enough overs over the next 2 days to see a positive result.
