🏏 :engerland: England Cricket 2021

And it’s 227/7 at tea, with Pope on 74 and Woakes on 4. This is still very much in the balance, and I wouldn’t expect too large a first-innings lead unless Woakes hangs about for a bit and hits it around a bit.

Could be a great day’s cricket in prospect for those lucky bastards who’ll be there tomorrow.

Sotonians meet up?

Unlikely. I am being treated to top level hostility - literally as it turns out, on the top floor of the Pavilion :slightly_smiling_face:

145-1. Pujara had discovered shots. Hard going especially at £7 a pint.

Belch!

Can get 7 beers for that at the local Widka I Piwo bars :man_facepalming:

Maybe it’s the post nights jetlag or perhaps the way the game is slipping away from us but Shane Warne’s commentating is boiling my piss.

Drinks free for me, in last year’s favoured spot…

This is pretty fucking terrible

You would love the Cheese Board in our section. I’ve caught a chin of Stilton and thrown it back. Now cold meat is airborne. We are " Salami Army."

Alcohol may have been consumed.
