3rd test - Headingley

[sonson]

Been at work all morning, seems like I should stay away rest of the day

 

[LJP1786]

What a session that is for us, don’t let them make an innings now. Boom, boom after lunch!

 

[Stormo]

Great session. Very enjoyable.

 

[Shahid Afridi Googly]

Best session of the series from us imo

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Cracking morning's cricket, that

 

[Julio Mackemo]

Amazing what a difference Wood makes

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Sounds like I’ve missed a good morning

The Head drop was poor

 

[Raker]

Anyone got an “express pace” counter? Think we’re on 15+ at least

 

[rentaghost]

terrible drop

We cant pick Bairstow as WK going forward regardless of the result in this test

Had Bairstow caught Head then Smith probably wouldn't have been on strike and we wouldn't have got him out. Well done Johnny lad

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

Bowled very well still think Robinson not at his best.

 

[LJP1786]

You can start all the remaining test threads Chunky!

It was shocking but on the bright side we’d not have gotten Smith, all’s well than end’s well

Amazing what a difference Wood makes

Don't want to be negative after such a good morning but its clear he should have played before this test.

 

[LJP1786]

Where’s Punter at today? Would like to hear his thoughts on this mornings play!

Can' see any Aussies on comms. Shame.

Just got a text from the Rat, he says:

“ log off man, remember Foakes dropping that chance in 2013, dear me”

Dropped! Ben Foakes puts down a sitter​

OK, it wasn’t the easiest catch in the world, but at this level that was a gimme. Broad finds the outside edge of Jansen and it moves towards Foakes who has to move to his right. The ball swerved a little and it hit his right thigh. Broad scowls at his ‘keeper. Finally some luck for the Saffas.

England's Stuart Broad reacts after Ben Foakes drops a catch.

Must have been fake news of course, Foakes never drops anything.

Foakes catches most things. That's the point.

Regardless on what you think of Foakes' keeping or him being in the side. Even Bairstow will be gutted at himself sitting down for lunch. Should have had at least 1 more ct to his name.

I said first test but they said they were resting him for both. Clearly he's in good shape at this point, whether that's on account of that rest well never know
