Brilliant 10th wicket stand

 

Great entertainment

Root’s noise ending 100.

Then the last wicket stand to put England on top at 325-9

 

Fair point

 

This morning’s buffet bowling and dropped catches is going to cost us. Any lead above 100 and it’s game over I think sadly.

 

Australia have to bat last, so we are still in this game.

 

If they get 100 lead then that’s at least 300 we’ll need to have anything competitive second innings.

If I thought more than one of our batters had the common sense to just see off Starc rather than try and smash him all over the place from ball one then I’d be more hopeful!

 

100 lead would have been good

 

Oh dear! Oh very dear!

 

Success would be making them bat again

 

Well we did but only just! Will we actually learn that test matches have 5 days of scheduled play and that crease occupation can actually be good. Oh for a Tavare to blunt the attack!

 

Well done to Lando Norris formula 1 world champion. I lost interest in F1 for a few years, but Drive to Survive ignited my boys interest and they have rekindled mine. Great to have a last day decider, and I was delighted for Lando but the 2nd half of the season has proved that Max is still the best driver.

 

Oh Please God - No!! Not Chris Tavare! He made Boycott look like Viv Richards! (And no, I don't mean black facing him!!

 

Was it Tavare batting at the oval where a fan took a chair out to the square ( the fan was Statto from the Baddiel and Skinner Fantasy Football show )
