Stokes you twonk.
Long hop straight to lid wicket 69.
342-6
Wonderful opening spell from Mark Wood.
Just bowled a 97.1mph beauty
89-3 at lunch.
Atkinson’s removal of Brathwaite by Pope was a marvellous bit of tactics & bowling. Stokes changed the field every ball of a fiery over while Atkinson adjusted and it worked.
Well earned.
WIndies should be filling their boots but then 2 youngsters decided to hoik Bashir straight to fielders when they should hsve been nurdling easy runs.
Not gonna avoid the follow on surely
Hmm, you would think that as they are now 19503 and only 221 runs behind they will.
Both batsmen have now made half centuries, Hodge was dropped by Root earlier…
Works every time.
We actually have a Test Match to watch all weekend
