[Jack Torrance]

Holder is class isn't he

 

[TopCat]

Damn

 

[Silly Point]

Got the knack of getting wickets when needed. Stokes was getting a bit flustered mind strange few balls for him

 

[Ghfd]

Stokes c dowrich b holder 43

thin edge off a snorter to the wk.

no blame attached, the ball was too good, turned him a bit.

154 for 6

i think if we can get around 250 it will be a decent score. Bess arrives

Top bowling effort this

Over 200 bang in this

Agree. 200+ keeps us in the game I reckon. Wait and see what the scores are after WI have batted of course

Reminds me of Gus Fraser, not the fastest, but bloody accurate.

 

[Silly Point]

Trouble now

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Good take.

 

[TopCat]

Oh FFS

170 all out

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Holder again

Trouble now

How many times does he fail before being under pressure

 

[scotch]

Archer and England need runs

Loved big Gus. Always looking knackered and pissed off from ball 1 of an innings

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Need Wood to smash a 50 here

A required artform for an English batsman?

 

[The Rat]

Another great nut

Played well Buttler

 

[TopCat]

2nd highest scorer in the innings so far......

But I take your point

Not his worst effort today and got a good one but not had quite the impact people were expecting sadly. Thing is I don’t think Foakes did a lot to press his case last season either
