Agreed - if we had a little bit of mental strength we’d have bowled them out for 60-odd, like we did at Trent Bridge four years ago. And if we’d had a little bit of mental strength then, we’d have bowled them out for 20-odd. Fucking pathetic, bucket of wank that is son.

And that Jofra fellas is a one day bowler. Thinking he will ever be anything else is #sportingjingoism. The whole world is laughing at this spineless shite.

Whilst you can’t fault his bowling his fielding leaves a little to be desired, Woakes had numerous goes at him because of his lassez faire approach to fielding.
Can’t blame him really though, he must be aching from all that bowling…
And Hampshire pick up last 5 Middlesex wickets for 1 run. Happy days.

I will forgive him.
All we need now is a sunny day tomorrow…

Game is at Headingly.
8 for 43.
Exactly the same figures as Bob Willis during Botham’s Test Match.
Jofra. On a hat trick with 1st ball of his next spell. The first player since Merv Hughes with a chance of a hat trick spread across 3 Overs.

I thought you were talking about the stat of the England innings for a while then.
I love a good stat, me.
98 overs to be bowled today, supposedly, with the session times as follows (all local time):
Morning: 1100-1300
Afternoon: 1340-1610
Evening: 1630-1830

“Any news on weather conditions?” asks Ben. Leeds is positively bathed in sunshine, bright blue skies, and a perfect day for batting.
That’ll be England all out for 50 odd then
Roy gone for 9, chasing a wide ball, toe edge of the bat, caught by Warner.
Root gone for a duck 2nd ball, Warner with a good catch again.
Ball moved off the seam and caught a quite thick edge.
Hazlewood having a good spell with the new ball.
Denly given LBW after a long think, being reviewed. Going over the stumps so overturned…
10-2
Apologies.
Seem to have suffered an attack of optimism last night.
50 looks like it will be a struggle
Lyon on already, strange decision given what Cummins and Hazlewood were doing with the ball
Apparently only once this summer have England survived the first 10 overs without losing a wicket, and that was against Ireland.
Burns gone for 9, short stuff works
Cummins to Burns, OUT , gloved behind and Burns is gone! Jheez, this isn’t a great way to go. Bouncer from Cummins, heading down the leg side, Burns launches into a pull shot looking to take advantage, but can only glove it through to Paine who takes a simple catch!
RJ Burns c †Paine b Cummins 9 (28b 1x4 0x6) SR: 32.14
20-3
And Jack Leach was opening
What’s the follow on total?
Horror shot from Stokes 30-4
Thanks the lords we’ve already avoided the follow on.
So Roy and Stokes are out to bad shots
Root was done by a good ball
Denly was a 50/50
Warner catching like a demon in the slips.
