Creepy goes the same way he did in the first innings, feathers an edge to Southee at 2nd slip
12-4, Crawley 
Should be a walk in the park for England now.
I’m off into town for some beers before meeting Mrs P_F for a bit of Topgun Maverick.
And maybe a few more beers afterwards and maybe some football…
Not watching the England v Hungary game then.

Pope gone for 18, 53-2
Good bowling by Henry, just jagged away off of the seam and took Pope’s outside edge.
And Root comes and goes for 3 c&b Boult
Leading edge off of a slower ball? no it stuck on the pitch…
56-3, trail by 243
Lees nicks one to Blundell, wafting outside off stump
Leeds 44, England 93-4
Not now I’ve found Ale.
Topgun could be dodgy also
One all then.
No way Bairstow or the tail bats 1.5 sessions
Tea
England 139-4, need another 160 with a minimum of 38 overs remaining
Bairstow 43*
Stokes 25*
It’s the hope that kills you…
Bairstow 50 up in quick order after tea, 51 from 51 balls.
England 147-4
You’re correct, 2 overs after tea, 13 runs each.
England 165-4, need 134, 36 overs.
Amazing, Bairstow smashes a bouncer for 6, then dot ball, then goes for the pull again and misses it completely, off his helmet over the keeper for 4.
Next ball, bouncer, 6.
This session 2.4 overs 42 runs…
Take a bow ha ha Bairstow, amazing cricket!

96 runs required now
England 203-4
Bairstow 92* (70)
Stokes 35* (39)
Stokes has tweaked his left knee somehow, no quick singles will be taken for a while I would have thought.
Bairstow 102* in 77 balls, 2nd fastest test ton for England, by 1 run, would have probably been quicker if Stokes wasn’t hampered by his knee.
219-4, need 80 more to win
This is a slaughter.
Obviously
I am in the cinema.
Innit.
