60/2

straight through alli

5 runs scored.

experiment fails.

45mins in.

 

england are now about 40 runs short.

already needing a root century. if Crawley is out before 50 we are screwed.

 

Head in hands here.

whatever root has come out thinking it's not to get in or to play test cricket.

wafts and misses at a poor wide and then nearly gets himself run out.

 

root nearly loses his dick there.

on a fat duck and looking absolutely like he's never batted in his life.

does he have somewhere to be?

 

root onto 6 from 7 balls.

a 4, a 2 and 5 almost wickets.

 

do you ever stop moaning ?

 

Head in my hands mate.

Crawley now throwing his bat at everything.

we need 100 out of these two and they are not giving themselves anything but trusting to luck.

 

Crawley gone doing the usual. 44 so that what we needed from him. Still about 40 runs short.

super shot one ball before and then just swings at one he doesn't need to and nicks to keeper. basically exactly what Australians were trying to get.

 

ball was changed. certainly harder and moving.

imo these balls that are put in a case just get like rocks sometimes and now England are up against it here.

 

decent defense from brooks for the most part, one looser one. we need a 40 or 50 from the lad.

 

really good shot brook

 

and again, harder at it this time.

 

Good Brook, very good.

 

better shots now.

 

Feel like seen more catches down leg side this series than any other.

 

****.

roots swung at nothing. short and down leg and trying to pull again and gloved.

 

FFS. Here we go Don't need Bazball yet - 2-3 an over will suffice here. Calm the **** down.

 

stokes has come out.

this is now a must stick partnership

 

120 to win
6 to lose.

Brook has played really well.

stokes must stand there and let the kid do the job

 

If they can just get to 200 without losing another wicket...
