Just when I thought I was in… they pull me back out.

 

Root gone as well.....

226 all out is on......

 

Shouldn't have said anything ffs

 

93 needed off last 10 overs, Buttler and Jacks carry the hope....

 

Not quite dead yet…

 

Silly single

 

England never quite there, but a really good day nonetheless. Lord's is my favourite place in the World.

 

I can apperciate that.
I feel the same way about the SCG.
Watch Lillee & Thompson at their peak there in about 75.
Had a few school carnival there around the same time.
All the architecture, the clock on the grandstand roof, the old score board , the history etc .......... has a special place in time.

With all due respect, the only thing l dislike about Lords, is the ugly modern media tower.
The older i'm getting, the more l like the antique looking period buildings.

 

A bit better today, England 200-2 off 30 overs.

 

A hundred for Jacob Bethell. Remarkably, his first in any form of professional cricket.

 

Shame they left this batting performance until last….

 

Markram out 2nd ball

 

2 for 2.

 

6 for 3. Are South Africa bothered?

 

Superb stuff from Archer, 3 for 1.

 

7 for 4.

 

18 for 5.

I wonder what their lowest ever score is?

 

28 for 6

 

They'll be bothered about the bruising they're getting.

 

This is as disgraceful for South Africa as the first game in the series was for England. Shocking stuff.
