⚱ :engerland: 🇦🇺 Ashes 2019, 4th Test, Old Trafford

Restarting at 13:30. 78 overs to be bowled today. Sun now shining.
Booo

And the night watchman departs, 25-2

Pitch is pacier today, according to the 'taters, so will suit the Australian bowlers…

That Overtons’ no Jack Leach ffs

This has been a very solid, mature and appropriate session from Burns and Root. Faced some hostile bowling, Root got pinned back by Lyon for a long time, but they’ve remembered to bat like test players. England have needed that.

This is mature batting, the wicket is as easy as its going to get so make hay while the sun shines.

Y’all just had to say that…
Haven’t seen score all day and…
200-5

Roy’s out delivery was so so stupid, Hazlewood was putting there so he knew he was searching for his stumps.

Yay!
Should get a full day of cricket in according to the forecast.
All over by tea then so can focus on football

What do we need to avoid the follow on ?

5 wickets in hand, Bairstow & Stokes.
Buttler to come about 2 minutes past 11 no doubt

Boom baby :fire::fire:

291/9.
6 runs short of follow on target.
Starch to Leach. Huge appeal! Given not out. No reviews left for Aus.
Replays show he was plumb!
England survive, squeezed past 300 now, Buttler in with Leach on 41

Hehe he.
0.6 Broad to Warner huge appeal. Plumb LBW.
3 Ducks in a row for Warner.
Currently 28-2 Harris wasted a review also plumb to Broad

44 for 4 Head gone for 12

Bunch of morons.
Last thing we want is to bowl them out cheaply tonight

Well there we have it, vindicated.

Anyone know any good train dances?
Asking for some friends
