3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

[slowfinger]

At least 250 England should make to make this interesting

 

[Ju7]

This ones done then.

Still a way to go.Woakes is a good bat and Carse is decent.

 

[slowfinger]

Is it too late to bring Moeen Ali back? What a downgrade in the spin department it has been since he left

 

[mackembhoy]

No they didn’t. Iirc they said the margin of error is miniscule and the 50% is just arbitrary to keep umpires relevant.

This

Woakes hasn't batted well for about 3 years. carse should be coming in ahead of him now

FWIW I don't think this is in the intent of umpire's call at all, that goes against every explanation we've been given by the ICC. I do think it's a very good reason to at least keep it now, if we're not going to change the law.

The ICC are a mess when it comes to this stuff. Always throwing umpires under the bus.

This finally feels like an Indian wicket on which you can bowl spin all day long.

This is the sort of fragile ego they’re protecting

 

[centurymaker]

England probably still get 250+

Stokes, Woakes, Carse and even Archer can all bat.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

First boundary in what feels like forever

 

[honestbharani]

The maligned allrounders doing the heavy lifting for India this Test.

Haha.. will be interesting to see if the usual suspects say something else about GG if we end up winning this game.

Not that I think we can chase 200 here tbh. I think its beyond this batting line up.

The last pitch was subcontinental too according to Stokes

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

At least it's not Caddick, Mullally, Igglesden, Such to come! Shudder.

 

[cnerd123]

Woakes is set here

He’d also solve our top order issues!

 

[SkyBlue]

Woakes is set here

Actually stage is set for another Stokes clutch innings

 

[Spark]

Yeah this feels very much like an Indian wicket now lol

 

[Spark]

Low key important for Jadeja here. He's been pretty bad with the ball for a year now, but this wicket should really suit him to the ground. Needs to finish the job for his team to dissuade the cooked allegations

 

[Ju7]

He’d also solve our top order issues!

He did bat at 3 didn't he on occasions?
