That wild one would have got Zak out

 

[Antidotes]

wheyyyy

 

[El Oso]

What a way to bring up the 100 partnership.
Incredible stuff

 

[SAFC11]

Vital partnership

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

Vital partnership

No 2 ways about it. Its kept us in it by our fingernails. I'm greedy though, I want another 40 runs from these 2. (At least)

 

[scotch]

Different game now with this new ball and quality bowlers on show

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Might have made some dubious captaincy decisions but you can't ever fault Ben Stokes' heart when he plays for England. Giving it absolutely everything yet again and putting some of them to shame. He needs more to join him

 

[Hongkongphooey]

At last some intelligent batting

 

[Safc98]

I've got 4-0

A draw would trigger me more than a defeat at this stage

I'll settle for another 19 just for Stokes.

Getting through an hour has been a stunning effort from these two

Let's not confuse playing poorly with not giving it everything

 

[Safc98]

Moral victory, and nobody want to lose 5-0

I don’t care if it’s 3-2 or 5-0 tbh Albeit I’m at the last two so would be nice. But hollow.

I'm not. Majority have been poor and very much half arsed, weak minded individuals who can't handle pressure.

Weather around for day 5....just got to drag this out for as long as possible.

1stly runs on board gets the defecit less.

2ndly it puts overs into the Aussies legs.

3rdly it eats time out of the match, bringing the possibility of a draw back into it.

I mean let's be honest we will still lose.

I would just love for these to get us to parity and then both to ton up.

Something to smile about in a shite series.

Parity would be one of the most remarkable partnerships ever

 

[Safc98]

Least these two have turned up in this Test. The other nine should hang their heads. They haven’t fired a shot and nothing hurts more. Just ask the Mags.

 

[scotch]

Under 100, well done lads.
Jeez this is some high quality new ball bowling again

 

[Safc98]

Parity would be one of the most remarkable partnerships ever

Archer tons up I’ll go to bed convinced I’ve been spiked.

Putting our top order to shame
