Don’t worry, Crawley and Pope will take pity

Clouds may return in 2nd half of the day. But yeah it likely won't be cloudy like yesterday..

And apparently we will get a full days play tomorrow!

 

[SkyBlue]

Tongue will get a 5-fer. You can almost sense it

This is the thing with Tongue. Absolutely all over the shop but bowls wicket taking deliveries. So frustrating. Can see what they see in him, must bowl some absolute jaffers in the nets, just has zero idea where it's going to land delivery to delivery.

i used to face him in the nets at junior age and he was much the same and I was number 10 batsman

Josh Tongue bowling at the tail you say?

 

[Ju7]

Thought he'd got an inside edge at first, but no, that's another cracking delivery. I guess this is just what we have to accept with Tongue.

A bowling version of Crawley!!That doesn't work for me I'm afraid.

Still some proper movement out there, bloody glad Bumrah's not playing

Bowling serious heat too now. Must be terrible to face someone like this; not sure he knows which one's going to come out/land right.

 

[SkyBlue]

We are not going to get more than 10 runs with Sundar playing with the tail

Yeah, he's yet to prove that his upside it worth the price you buy it at, but the theory of what you get with Tongue isn't terrible in itself.

 

[Molehill]

Quite like the nickname he's just been given on Crapinfo... Scatter-Tongue!!

How does this garbage bowler keep picking wickets? Steven Finn was a bit like this too wasn't he?

Oi leave my close personal friend (was in Year 13 while I was in Year 7 and played for my club) alone!

I don't think I've watched more than 15 minutes of this live only switching over in breaks of other sport, but in that time I've seen multiple wild deliveries, two Tongue wickets, and the Gill run out. It's been bizarre.

And now that ugly dismissal to add to it.

 

[SkyBlue]

This one will be over very quickly

You just know that Baz and Stokes will be delighted with Tongue, if anyone is willing to put up with the shite to get the magic balls, it’s them

 

[RightArmMystery]

See ya Washy. Couldn't have been a better start really. Both proper batters out. All out for under 250 looks well on now. England back in control.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Oh Washington…

 

[mackembhoy]

Awful from Sundar, cheers pal

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Good to see that Sundar had the decency to get out to the bowler.
