[Daemon]

All the cricinfo headline images from the last 3 days have just been Ben Stokes' emotions

What Jaddu could have done though instead of making Bumrah and Siraj play 3 balls an over for a single is play out the first 4 balls then try and take on the field when its brought up by Stokes. Might jag a boundary that way and the outcome is the same in terms of the number of balls faced by the tailender.

If I was there I would do that and then finish it off with 6 sixes off Archer.

Stokes hasn't brought up the field to Jadeja until the last ball of each over. They're giving him the 4th or 5th ball single.

We will lose a wicket before the end of a session. It's a recurring theme. Don't worry England fans, the end is near

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Jadeja just doesn't have an expansive game when field is spread out. Same with Sundar.

Would've loved some IPL strokemakers in this situation

We generally need a little enterprise in the lower middle order. We have strokemakers in the top order but all that momentum peters out once we are 4 down.

 

[cnerd123]

Stokes won't mind that. They've got 6 balls at Siraj now

 

[Spikey]

i think what Jaddu should have done is told Washington not to get out after 4 balls

 

[SkyBlue]

I didn't watch that ATG Kusal Perera innings live but how was the pitch playing for that game?

He should audition for General Dyer in the next Jalianwala Bagh movie

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I didn't watch that ATG Kusal Mendis innings live but how was the pitch playing for that game?

You mean Kusal Janith Perera?

 

[SkyBlue]

You mean Kusal Janith Perera?

Oops yes

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Stokes won't mind that. They've got 6 balls at Siraj now

0 ballls now

 

[RightArmMystery]

Wasn't super convincing, but did well there Siraj.

 

[Spikey]

Siraj has now faced more deliveries than 5 Indian batters. this seems like a bad thing

 

[RightArmMystery]

Batted Jadeja. You can get out now

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

The year is 2121 and Ben Stokes is still bowling himself unchanged at Jadeja, who is yet to chase the required runs to win this Test.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

thats one way of getting boundaries

 

[cnerd123]

This might be Stokes last over of this spell. Then Archer is back on

 

[Spikey]

lol he tried to play the same shot he's played every second delivery for the last 2 hours but got an edge this time. he should simply edge the ball more often
