Only need another 30 or so overs to get a 420 lead at current rate (if we don’t get bowled out ofc)
Mathematically, yes, but another 30 overs of this without losing wickets will be quite something. Where would 30 overs take us? I reckon an hour after tea. I'm guessing that Stokes is planning on setting 350.

The way England are playing Test cricket reminds me of a memorable quote:

"There are two teams out there. One is trying to play cricket and the other is not."

This from the Guardian's commentary:
Root keeping his conventional stance but reverse-sweeping with the nonchalance of someone wiping down the kitchen counter.
Very nicely put; an eloquent example of how test cricket is not what it was.

But the bowling is quite ordinary and the pitch... the less said the better!

Apart from Root's weird couple of overs it's been very ODI. Field is spread, five singles an over if ou want them, occasionally a bad one gets swept for four. Pretty normal 3rd innings with a big lead fayre, except how on this wicket the lead isn't really as big as it looks yet.

So do we play Overton or the kid next week in the 2nd test in place of Livingstone?

Brook playing well, need him to double it though.
