Last ball of Gabrielās last over Pope edged a regulation catch to Cornwall who shelled it.
First ball of Gabrielās next over he clean bowls Pope for 91ā¦262-5
Actually on replay it took a slight deflection off of Pope front thigh on to the stumpsā¦
Woakes gone for 1, plays on to his own stumps
Roachās 200th test wicket
267-6
This collapse is so English cricket its actually almost a parody of English cricket collapses.

Archer gone for 3, edged to slipsā¦
280-8
Leaving out a batsman.
Whoād have guessedā¦
And yet Broad has come out swinging the willow.
26 off of 13 balls so far.
314-8
Broad 50 up from 33 balls, 8 fours, 1 six
342-8
5th fastest English test 50 apparentlyā¦Botham has the 2 fastest onesā¦
If Broad didnāt get that crack on the head years ago he would have been a seriously good all rounder or probably moreso bowler/batsmen but imagine having him coming in at 8, the bowlers would just cry.
That may have been my fault.
Parked up opened cricinfo and Broad out to a low full toss for 62 instantly
Ffs
Broad tries 1 shot too many and gets caught in the deep
62 from 45 balls
356-9

and that was that 369 all out.
Good recovery from the hostile attack in the first hourā¦
Well that was fun. Stuart Broad was seriously pissed off at being left out of the first test, he responded in the best possible way. Good to see.

Ffs Stokes. Even I could have caught that in the slips
15-1 should have been 7-2
Not sure if this will work. Possible live updates. If not, you aināt seen nothing. Got it?

Holder giving Joffra a bit of tap.
Yeah those edges to 3rd man are wonderful.
Holder caught by Pope playing another expansive drive with only another 5 runs needed to avoid the follow on.
However it looks like Woakes didnāt have any part of his front foot behind the line, 1/16th of an inch in it if that.
No ball and Holder is reprieved.
Apparently only the 2nd no ball called against Woakes in his complete test career, 34 testsā¦
166-6
And the follow on has been avoidedā¦
This means we have to treat our innings as a 30/40 overs smash fest and rely on our bowlers on Tuesday as thereāll be no cricket on tomorrow.
