I normally reply Woakes out to that statement :slight_smile:

Woakes added 25. Which is more than Pope and Duckett did combined :+1:

Ton for Jamie Smith. Well deserved

304-7

Smith falls for 111

Mark Wood on the charge! 348-8. From the BBC:

"Strap yourselves in, people!

Mark Wood gets a short ball from Asitha Fernando and hooks it into the stands!

To finish off the extraordinary sequence, it’s caught in the crowd ONE-HANDED by a bloke holding a pint in the other.

Take a bow, sir."

And then out. Wood 22. Eng 348-9
