Morning….thought you were out spending your winnings.

Still a bit groggy. Another day of limited rations.

this is fantastic though the match. bairstow to get a ton and not out as well

i posted yesterday about the big lads getting 70, 80 and 90. What a miserable tip that was. Should have been tons for them

Its madness to think of where we are now compared to a few months ago. Seemingly cruising to chase down a 4th inning total of nearly 400 without really any stress!

Part of me wishes India pushed on for a 419 lead so we could break the world record rather than just our own

A lot of that must be down to the coaching. It's essentially the same group of players.

That’ll be Durham

This will be in the top 10 highest run chases of all time.

The absolute record is 418/7 (AUS v WIN, 2003)

They could have set these lads 500 and we'd still be confident of it now, at 319/3.

Speak for yourself We've got a massive tail. Not a lot after Stokes really. I'd be confident 400 maybe, but not a lot more.

Perhaps not confident, but we'd at least be getting a lot more optimistic with 179 to get!

“Everything going England’s way….”
He was nowhere near stopping that going for 4, much less catching it.
