Oh, 4 balls away from being 88-8 off 88 balls.

 

[tomw24]

Shame that was off the pads! Still, saved 4 runs.

Tymal Mills has to be one of the players of the Hundred. Must be in the England selectors’ minds for the T20 WC.

Especially with no Jofra

Especially with no Jofra

Exactly

If we don't take our time out, the rules say you can have two more mins to bowl your overs.

But now that they're 9 down, it hopefully won't matter. Just need to get Cook on strike (annoying that was the end of 10).

 

[st_brendy]

Oh what the hell?! We've taken it. Why?!

They're 9 down. What do we need to speak to Mahela about?

 

[st_brendy]

Boom!

 

[tomw24]

Brilliant. Just brilliant!

 

[tomw24]

A good PP for us and we're almost halfway there.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Wow! That is incredible bowling by the Brave, with the Rockets’ batting lineup.

Hopefully no silly mistakes now…

A good PP for us and we're almost halfway there.

Well at least we know it's not going to be a sedate, calm PP. We'll have either blistered a big chunk of the chase, or will be in all sorts of trouble.

 

[tomw24]

Ideal start.

 

[st_brendy]

Stirling already has the 3rd highest score of the match

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Bugger

 

[tomw24]

Can't afford that TR!

Vince takes down Rashid.

Vince takes down Rashid.

It's like the Rockets have watched a different first innings. The reason why the match is where it is, is because of our opening pace bowlers.

 

[st_brendy]

First time I think that Stirling has batted through the PP for us.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

A good PP for us and we're almost halfway there.

More than!
