Brook looks solid now. he can stick around. I'm more, survive til lunch then get set after it. that's the next danger.
we got in for lunch. Brook is the winning of this. if these two can stick for a 50 partnership then there's enough left in woakes and wood.
Still think we'll need 5 wickets in hand for the last 50. These 2 get out before 200 and we'll still struggle, I tell you. Woakes has been good in the final stages of many a one-day game though, which is almost what this has become.
sure, why not. Brook at 3 was a 10 or 20 for me so he's come in and made up for duckett. stokes or wood has to score for root now. just stay in for 30mins here. that's all. 30mins and then score what you like. get one man back in set at least.
no disaster. didn't even review it. he must know he hit it. it's all down to broom madness of swinging at things going down leg again
christ bairstow. hoe many warnings do you need. can you not just ****ing stand with Brook and let him do the business. driving away. jog on Johnny will be what Smith whispered in his ear win lose or draw he must be dropped for next test.
I'd go short to woakes. he will hack it. England need someone to stand with Brook. he's been the best man who's come out all day.
at bloody best. we are 40 to 50 runs short due to root who just looked panicked. stokes going is the disaster that's left it as a long shot now.
