The one time Vince is really disciplined outside his off stump he gets a ball from Starc that hits a crack. Absolutely nothing he could have done about that ball. Hopefully he'll get his chance in New Zealand as well. I know he's got out with bad shots in this series but he's also played 2 really good innings and he's scored more runs than Root, Cook and Moeen.

Everyone is Praising him , and the ball that got him out .
 
Oh God. What did I do? OK I don't believe in you, but is that any reason to get Saints stuffed at Wembley and make me watch Steve Smith take the game away from England.

Here's the deal. I'll give up being an atheist if a) Smith is out next ball, followed by an Australian collapse b) Saints beat United at the weekend and c) we sell Van thingy for £70m and invest that plus another £80m in a decent striker with a few added all sorts.

What do you say, God? Come on, it's Christmas FFS

Almost 33% there. Nice one
 
Just watched the highlights. Fabulous from Cook, playing for pride but he wouldn’t have got the chance if the bowlers hadn’t stepped up. A truly great day’s play from England, and about time too!

This is the match to win! for England. They need 550 or 600, and then hope the bowlers can apply the necessary pressure. Oh, how England need a world class spinner!!!
