Bairstow beating Lancashire on his own.. 115 off 52... Sorry add Luxton 90 off 46 ** strange to see Jimi Anderson playing in red for Lancs...
Frustratingly too little too late from yorks, as great as beating lancs will hopefully be the blast performances this season have been woeful
Apparently Yorkshire have won at Old Trafford for the first time in 10 years. Absolutely gash Yorkshire bowling... unbelievably won by only 18 runs!!!
3rd test: india all out for 387, the same as england, who now have maybe 10 overs to negotiate before stumps.
Feisty start to England's innings. Siraj particularly wound up gets Duckett early on, Bumrah trying to kill Crawley with every ball. Great stuff!
Crawley out nicking off to the slips..... no footwork whatsoever......well I never.....it's really quite incredible that someone averaging less than 30 is playing in their 57th test. He's like a striker who plays 38 games a season, scores 10 goals but only actually scores in 4 of the games and contributes sack all in the other 34
new ball pitch, done a lot first 25-30 for both teams.....kind of just need to see it out and wait for it to go soft.....not get out doing what zc did....
Crawley retaining his place is one of the strangest phenomena in sport… I’d play Bairstow as a power opener if the only argument for keeping him in the side is that he occasionally has some success on his front foot.
safe to say that root will be reclaiming the number one batsman spot from brook when the rankings are updated.
when the final indian wicket fell, cricinfo had its expected overs remaining for the day at 13.0. i assumed a 10 minute break between innings and knocked it down to ten. way out! no idea why their 13 was so far out.
13 was right, every day of this test has been about 10 overs short of the required 90, pace of play has been pathetic
