Urgh. Once they get Stokes or Root then that's the game. Bairstow will get nowt as usual

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

Deck of cards time

Shame I'm going to be on the A1(M) and M62 during Jonny's match winning ton.

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Come on Stokes

 

[JL1985]

It’s collapse time, I’m going 219 all out.

 

[LD19SAFC]

This is the partnership. Lose another before lunch and we’ll crumble.

We never had a chance chasing that tbf.

We certainly don't just standing there and letting them bowl to us while playing no shots. We need to be positive here

There’s 5 sessions left we need to grind the fast bowlers down

Exactly, every ball they bowl they get more tired. Later sessions today will be more productive when Rabada etc have already bowled 20+ overs

Yeah. We’ll need to see off another new ball again as well

I made the mistake of thinking the same about Stokes, Headingley Day 4 when he was 2 off 60.

Yeah but he counter then attacked and the pitch was actually pretty good it was the overhead conditions that was the issue for teams in that game, the variable bounce is getting worse here and the new ball is around the corner. One shot an over was all it would have taken the worst scoring rate of the game by some way.

 

[keepthefaith1879]

Happening again is it?

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Stokes came in with 218 needed

at Headingley Stokes come in with......218 needed

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Just grind them down

 

[hudson88]

Shot Root

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Roooot
