I suspect a 500+ … and at best a draw…
I’m particularly pissed off with the people who ran on at the start of the game because of how hard it is to get tickets for the first day and they then wasted them.
Weather in Essex similar to yesterday except a bit more drizzle when took dog for a walk before breakfast
2nd over 4 balls of dross from Broad.
Review?
Carey gone LBW
351-6
Aus 416 all out.
England 41-0 in reply.
“Conditions are starting to turn in favour of the batsmen” says Ricky Ponting on comms, watch England collapse to 150 all out
Thought I’d better put this back in here
Why are we paying Rees - Mogg to watch the cricket at Lords during working hours, that’s what I want to know. Can’t someone start shouting at him? " Oi Rees-Mogg, what are we paying you for? Get back in the office you skiving cunt".
Creepy gone for 48
Got him, stumped down leg! Lyon gets Australia on the board, and Crawley can tootle back to the pavilion, two runs shy of his fifty. The length wasn’t there as he looked to come down, the ball spinning behind the pads and Carey took it smartly to his left before bringing his hands back to break the bails. Fourth stumping of the series for him
Eng 91-1, trail by 325
Put a note on his desk saying “Sorry I missed you”
Duckett 52* from 84 balls
Eng 135-1 trail by 281
Nathan Lyon gone off injured, looks like quite a bad calf injury.
England 183-1, trail by 233
Nathan Lyon has done a calf muscle.
Being helped off. Looks bad
Poor by England just been trying to get out so Pope does.
They were trying to accelerate they said. They were going at 6 an over ffs
Root out for 1
But its a no ball
So Duckett goes for 98
Ffs
Set up for short ball and falls into said trap… Duckett you sill boy.
Assume that because Murdoch is Aussie its why we have to put up with a dominance of Aussie commentators giving it large on SKY… and Pieterson who talks like a cunt
Easily avoided by muting it and synching TMS on 5 live extra.
278/4 at stumps. 138 behind. Stokes calmed it down for the last 40 mins.
Bollocks
Overcast
Stokes out 2nd ball
