hes bowled way too many already for me, bowled more than double the overs Woakes has. OK as a one off, not sustainable though

This game is running out of time rapidly and Archer is just back from a side strain.
Lots of cricket to play this summer, last thing we need is to find a strike weapon and crock him first game.
Root not using the resources at his disposal very wisely in my view.
i thought that was his ranking as a wicket keeperThey were the ones I (pp Mrs. BiM) meant; so Bairstow is the 652nd player to represent England, yes?

He was prob going to have one with the new and then have a nice rest , he was in a nice groove , a young lad - it won’t be happening each match or he will burn out but at that stage he had to keep going

Let's hope that Broad doesn't want to try to replicate Archer and actually pitches the new ball up rather than wasting it by banging it in short.

What is the matter with this country.
After the battering Smith has taken, to come back and be received by boos, !!
What has happened to British sportsmanship?

Certainly from a point of view that the longer they bat it reduces the time we have to survive the batting collapse which is sure to follow.

I guess that’s what happens when someone is implicated in cheating

As Captain he basically forced a young player to cheat. He deserves everything he gets.

hmmm not sure he shouldve passed the concussion protocol if hes gonna review an lbw then walk off before waiting for the decision 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
whatever you think of him, pretty game to come back out and bat on

That was very unlike Smith - clearly affected by the hit on the neck , reviewing then walking ?Great ball by Woakes - hopefully they should clean up now
Can it be concussion though after being hit on the neck ? Or maybe whiplash

I guess it was only a possibility that it wasn't a fair delivery
I'm getting embarrassed now by the booing. 2 centuries this series, on his way to a third, whacked on the head, he comes back out and people were booing 🤔. Fine in the first test, maybe even fine when he first comes out (although frankly it seems pretty detrimental to England so far), but after that leave it out. The crowd are behaving like Aussies, not a proud moment.
Does that not get checked automatically as they walk off the pitch?

no (should be though!)

That's as I saw it. He knew he was plumb, but it could have been a bad, front foot delivery. If it had been , he would have returned to pursue a very close century. He had nothing to lose by reviewing.
If an England player had failed to review in similar circumstances, and it had not been a fair delivery, then that would have been wrong too.
Damned if you do, damned if .........

In the last test a couple of decisions weren't checked and were wrong so I guess it's a better move just to be certain

Roy is not a Test opener. What’s the point persisting with him? It’s obvious he’s not up to the job. I’d give him a go at 4, but time to get a proper opener in.

One gone. Start of the collapse?
