I think we have to be happy building a lead having lost the first 4 wickets for less than 100. Brook. Foakes and now Wood giving us that momentum. Edit Had to open my big gob.
great days cricket again, nicely poised after 2 days love the attacking by us, especially by the tail enders, why knacker yourself out batting when you're bowling very soon harry brook poor by his standards ;-)
I Will have to watch highlights. I've been busy so only caught glimpses. He'll be over the moon I expect with those figures. Well done lad.
Me too - at work so only glancing occasionally at the score last looked at tea then looked again a few mins ago and got a pleasant surpise
This is really impressive but there will be tests where this goes horribly wrong. I think if we can accept that risk then they should continue with this style.
Remember when trying to get targets like 167 to win a match was always touch and go for England? They would start off all nervous and be 4 or 5 down for about 50, then the customary collapse would follow with the team all out for 115 or so. What happened to those scratchy, fumbling, Bumbling days?
It is a breath of fresh air. Just wish we had the Ashes now! The Aussies would be crapping themselves watching our form at present.
What a debut for the spinner. Mark Wood cost me £45 because Sky Bet when he had 3 wickets with 7 down offered a 10/1 boost for him to finish with six wickets and I put some free bets on it.
