*Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

[loterry1994]

Up to the lower order now like it has been the last two tests

 

[Silver Silva]

Why is Smith playing at that ffs

That's what pace does , Mark Wood bowls that little bit quicker which rushes the batsman

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Short leg ffs

 

[wpdavid]

It said that today but raindar looks not too had midday Sunday. Wet outfield biggest problem I'd imagine

Get the spectators to mop it up again.

Short leg ffs

Amazingly bad decision not to have one

 

[CartyDurham]

Seeing that replay I’m thinking it hit smith on his thumb then the top of his glove

I saw two big spikes

I do wear specs though and heavy duty ones at that

I'm trying to parent three kids under three (albeit quarter arsedly) whilst I watch this so haven't given the commentary 100% attention, but did Smith being Woody's 100th test scalp even get acknowledged?

Nope

Should see spot on then. I need my eyes and ears tested apparently!

 

[Saket1209]

Since Virat praised Smith, Smith has really struggled

 

[BoyBrumby]

Nope

Huh. Poor show.

Must be a while since we've had 5 bowlers with 100 test wickets in the XI too.

 

[TimAngas]

I think we may be doing enough to just JUST hang on, but it might be close.

I wanted 6 down

that’s not happening so Australia, depending on the weather, are inching closer to safety

if there are 90 overs available in the next two days , I can’t see England not winning from here though

6 in fact. First time ever - for any side

There will be half that at almost most, it's a draw unless we get 2 before close.

 

[CartyDurham]

Wow woody boy

head was bamboozled there

that’s huge

 

[91Jmay]

What a spell. That's why we've been trying to bomb him all series then.

 

[chris.hinton]

Hahaha amazing

Easy....Easy

2-2

I mean 45 overs is no sure thing to bat out even with 6 wickets in hand.

 

[GIMH]

Into the tail
