Lyon pounces on ball heading for rope. Not bad for that senior cit!

 

[LandOfHoopsAndGlory]

Starc wide, Duckett 4.

 

[LandOfHoopsAndGlory]

Come on Aussies. Need a wicket to get this interesting.

 

[Stroller]

Good session for England. First one we've won.

 

[Trammers]

Made it to lunch unscathed..... Good morning work by England

Now need to win afternoon session....

 

[LandOfHoopsAndGlory]

I reckon you're right there Stroller. We need at least three wickets in this next session to break even now.
Four will give us the edge.

 

[Trammers]

Nicely up with required run rate

 

[Stroller]

Scared to say anything

 

[Stroller]

Drinks break - England bossed that half-session.

Let's keep this going lads.

Crawley throws it away.

 

[Hammersmith bookie]

Just as we had them wobbling, Crawley gifts them his wicket after doing all the hard work.

 

[Stroller]

Shame about Crawley, but definitely England's session again. Win the third one and we're right in this game.

 

[Stroller]

Not sure I agree, but the bookies have England as slight favourites at this stage.

 

[Trammers]

125/1 in the session..... good stuff.... shame about Crawley, bit prone to brain farts, but Pope has just continued where Crawley ended....

Win the 3rd session and finish on 270/280 for only a couple down, right back in the game.....

 

[Trammers]

Mad stat of the day......

Since his return to Test Cricket Duckett has faced 800 odd deliveries and left just 8 of them!!!!!

 

[Stroller]

Lyon crocked. Oh dear.

 

[highglossranger]

Daft from Pope, another wicket given away

 

[Stroller]

Just let them go. We'll get them in no-balls.

 

[LandOfHoopsAndGlory]

There you go chaps. Luck on your side this innings.

No excuse for bowling no-balls.
