Phew that was a tense last over. I knew that Brook couldn’t manage to straight bat six whole balls and, sure enough he gave a stupid catch. Good job it was Bumrah’s THIRD no ball of the over. Great day’s play.
Speed it's played at it will probably end Tuesday. I can imagine you're not a fan with the behaviour of people who can't handle their pop, as well as drivers.
I don’t mind to be honest, we barely notice the people other than seeing them walking to and fro and never had any bother. I just like to know what the parking situation is likely to be so we can work out which car to have on the drive and which to have on the road, depending on what time it ends and when I get back from work.
We got lucky with the weather today. If this had been a County Championship game, we’d have taken one look at the weather forecast and not bothered coming. As it was, we expected to see play until 2ish, but apart from a bit of drizzle it stayed fine until 6. Heartbreaking to see Brook play a shot like that on 99, but that 99 dragged us back into the match.
Its been a really interesting test so far, with some good and bad points for both teams. But its a shame that the weather, might end up spoiling it, again!.
Sky Bet in their yellow section have boosted Stokes to 6/5 to get 3 wickets. He should get two today.
For all the games that finish within 2 or 3 days this one is likely to be spoilt by the weather tomorrow. It`s been a fabulous advert for Test cricket and a shame that another day can`t be called on to try to get a result either way. Oh for the days of limitless time Tests!
