75 to win from how many overs?

6 wickets to win.

I only looked away like what 52mins ago according to the site. it was 160 to win from 38 overs. he's bludgeoned these kiwi's... the monster!
 
Only bad thing was him missing out on the record. Been a brilliant innings. Just need to see it through though. Means nothing if don’t win
 
Brilliant performance.

Still some work to do in certain areas etc. but can’t fault that performance really.

First innings after conceding 550 to get up close to that, could have easily been bowled out for 300 and be staring down innings defeat.

total is too high to chase successfully imo. It'll be a record.

I predicted crawley wouldn't be a factor and am not that interested. If we want to win he is not going to get the runs quick neough so right now Lees is the most important player. If he can get 50 quick before root has to come in then we have a half chance.

Its a massive ask to demand 263 runs from 63 overs in test cricket.

4.17 runs per over. Thats ODI stuff and neither the pitch nor the rules allow for ODI batting.

And you were right <laugh>
 
Quite amazing. I was at the pub when I saw Root had gone. Said to the landlord (who plays and knows his cricket) that it was about time Bairstow stepped up and delivered a meaningful innings <laugh>

498. Last 12 overs went for 198 runs.

Roy went out for 1 run from 7 balls and Morgan Was a golden duck.

Buttler the second fastest ODI century by an Englishman ever, one ball off the record (he has the top 3 places) and Livingstone has England's fastest ODI 50, Joint second of all time and also only one ball off the record.

Malan and Salt also got centuries.
 
the average size of a golf course is 150 acres.

the average size of a cricket ground is 5 acres.

a golf course is worth 750-1000 family sized houses where as a cricket ground or football ground is only worth apartments like highbury was. they got 725 boxes into that site which just goes to show.

which is the bigger waste?
