From 59-0 to 100-7

They've lost five wickets since I put in an order for a kebab. Which will come sooner, England being all out, or my kebab?

My moneys on England

That seems fair seeing that Parkinson has been listed at number ten and he probably hasn't even got his kit upstairs yet

Praying for Parkinson to be timed out because he hasn’t reached the ground yet

Keys and McCullum have to go.

Unless something goes very wrong it looks like England win on a technicality

Looking like a great advert for Two Day International Cricket, this

You pommy bastards robbed me of two days work last year's boxing day test match at the g with your 'batting' lol. Was set to make the easiest money Day 4 and 5.

Apologies, translation?

From what I've seen of Potts he's looked good and hope he can use this match as a basis to go on and keep himself in and around the side. But I do think it proves my theory that you could pluck any good low-80s bowler out of county cricket and they will do well in England.

Harry Brook released back to Yorkshire to play in the Blast tonight.

Nailed on big score coming as England flounder at Lord's.

Think there is a clear distinction between Ahmedabad 2021 and this though. This pitch isnt too bad, but external factors largely contributed to the rapid fall of wickets. Like you can see with the current partnership, when the sun is out and the ball is swinging less the batsmen seem quite comfortable.
I totally get that different conditions is something that makes test cricket interesting to watch but you cant really equate the two pitches

Yeah, Potts' bowling was absolutely nothing special. 81 mph up and down with a scrambled seam. There are dozens of English players who could do what he did in similarly favourable circumstances.

But he still had to go out and do it, and full credit to him for that.

If this has taught me anything it's that Lewis Gregory would be a good home pick
