Very nice shape here

Heavy roller wasn't the issue this morning, cloud cover's got it hooping round corners.

A top order would be struggling in this.

a less frenetic, go out there and be yourself and play your shorts lineup would do better. englands approach has been suicidal

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Probably wasn't a good idea to get out foolishly yesterday then.

Siraj is a lot calmer than I would be after that over

 

[ImpatientLime]

It is good that the 4th and 5th best teams in the world have produced an exciting series.

didn't england just go to new zealand and slap them?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Siraj in the rare moments when he's truly in the zone is amazing.

 

[Ju7]

Looks like the umpires want an early finish with how trigger happy they have been so far today.

Does anything get said to mister Brook if England manage to lose here.

Shouldn't he be questioned whatever happens if his shot was deemed unacceptable?

I always thought Chris Woakes aspired to be the new Gavin Larsen

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

England are going to turn down 20 singles now.

 

[ashley bach]

Where are these 18 runs coming from? Has to be Atkinson surely.

Smith and bethell got out trying to walk at the fast bowler tbf

 

[Nintendo]

Atkinson Mate. You can't be turning down singles FFS.

Didn't England go to India last year and get slapped? And besides we played Southee instead of good bowlers

 

[cnerd123]

Siraj without Bumrah > Bumrah

 

[Spikey]

don't understand Atkinson taking a single first ball last over but not here tbh

 

[Molehill]

Surely you have to take each run, especially against Krishna. Tongue is not useless and can score off him too.

Protecting Tongue from the best bowler.
