Ha what do I know? Two quick wickets

Haha! Stokes get the wicket with the first ball completing Anderson's over.
1-11 all in double figures yet nobody reached 50
Pakistan quietly rocking up in New Zealand with Amir and winning the first T20. The scenes if they threaten in the tournament.
Cook hundred here would be useful.
Getting caught down the leg side is such a budget way to get out. It's not 'unlucky'.
Cook does seem to be out in that fashion more than most players
I can see Rabada going straight through us after lunch, the guy is god tier.
Root looks in fine nick (when doesn't he?).
Could do with him converting today, has made a bit of a recent habit of getting 50 or 60 and getting out despite batting like a lord
Usually out cutting a straight one to the keeper.
I hate to jinx him but this ground is very Stokes-friendly.
It should be but Stokes is also the type of player who will bag a pair straight after a 260. If he gets going quickly it might be special
We're opener and someone who can bat at three away from being the real deal. Top order constantly go on the cheap. Anyone knocking about at County level, or are we stuck with Hales and Compton?
Compdogg has done alright for me. Hales is a bit of an issue but he deserves the series at least.
Stokes is away. Watch out
There are lots of people you could try at county level but nobody smashing the door down. Hales/Compton as good as it gets at the moment probably.
Sam Hain one to watch for that number three berth.
Fuck it, I'm deploying the smileys.
Could have done without the break. Smashing the cunts everywhere
This sounds like full porn from Root.
This SA match fixing story sounds fun. My guess for the 'two Test players' involved is Imran Tahir and Thami Tsolekile. Sorry, guys, if you're innocent.
I'm debating whether or not it's the best thing I've ever seen.
Hit hair loss for six FFS. There's a special extended version of the Warney/Vaughany advert that runs late late at night. It's about 45 minutes long I think, or maybe it was just a fever dream.
This Test could turn out to be a classic. Bit of magic from Bairstow here and a lead of 50+ could tip the balance.
Much depends on our bowling second time round. When we won here 11 years ago there was a magical spell from Harmison or Hoggard which would do it for us, need similar from somebody, perhaps Finn.
Think we could chase 250, wouldn't want it to be much more than that.
Yeah I see Finn being the one to break this open. Cook has to get him in early if it isn't happening though. If Anderson isn't threatening then hook him after 3 overs.
Think it's in Broad and Anderson's central contracts that they have to take the new ball, especially in a 5 over up-and-at-em session just before lunch.
ENFORCE that.
Is Broad on one of those rolls he gets on? Hope so.
This is the big hour now, if we can get one of these two with a marauding Finn coming into the attack we're right on top.
Oh yes he's on a roll alright the brilliant, brilliant twat
He fucking is on one isn't he.
I love this England team.
Going to head to a Waitrose later and claim my free cup of tea. I've been inspired here.
If Amla's out in this session the series is won imo
haha what
My god
Erm...
Both gone in 17 minutes and Finn having a cigar at fine leg.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
More runs from the top order and this could turn into the greatest England side I've seen, whatever the result here. Need one of Hales or Compton (or both) to click. Any of these kids you've mentioned coming through openers, Jim?
Low scoring test cricket might just be more enjoyable than football for me, although five years of Villa and England does that to a man.
This is a joke
Alex Lees for the opener spot longer term. Risks it becoming a Yorkshire circle jerk but oh well.
When people start getting out in the fashion Bavuma just has you know the series is won.
I went for a massive shit and missed four wickets.
Outrageous grab.
Should have got Finn on sooner Cook ffs
Heroic
Hope Dave had the foresight to go for a piss the same time he went for his shit.
Graeme Smith sounds devastated and I LOVE IT
By far the best thing about both this and the Durban win.
No wickets since I've tuned in. Wankers.
That's better.
How nervy are we going to make this then?
