Not sure that Nelson College quite represents the working class utopia that you’re implying; state school though it may be.

Unusually slow scoring from England this.

 

[Howe_zat]

I woke up, watched the video for a bit and the first thing I saw was them running four twos, so immediately felt tired.

Brook and Root looking fairly untroubled out there. Any deets on the attack?

 

[ataraxia]

FC standard. Solia gets wickets, Mckay was hyper**** but looks to have maybe improved recently, Davey is one of a long list of Canterbury hack mediums, van Woerkom only has 1.5 WPM because all the hack mediums hack out wickets like hacks but is a decent spinner, Ashok is a young gun leggie.

 

[honestbharani]

I turn it on and Root is dismissed.

 

[Howe_zat]

Traditionally, Root is out while im posting that.

Lawrence is batting at six so this probably isn't going to stick to 11 a side.

Pretty trash

At the ground. Pitch looks slow. How does it look on the stream?

 

[Howe_zat]

Dan Lawrence motoring now. 354 after 50 overs, with 50 off the last 5.

Still not used to this tbh.

Only one camera so hard to see any detail.

Looks pretty flat to me, but I've not seen much length control from the bowlers to test it out.

 

[Howe_zat]

I think Lawrence might have been dropped in the last over before tea. He slashed it well in the air towards long off and then ran one before it got back to an annoyed looking bowler. I have no further information.

The spinners have properly copped it. I wouldn't hold it against Jack Leach if he doesn't take a wicket tomorrow.

One wonders what the point of all this is.

That's just the approach England have to spinners these days. They did it to themselves in the warm up match in Pakistan. Leach may not take a wicket tomorrow, but he won't go at 9 an over either.

I'm wondering why Stokes didn't bat, but useful time in the middle for the others. Brook once again plundering runs.

 

[Howe_zat]

Bit weird they didn't have a bowl after only batting 70 overs.

 

[ataraxia]

They thwacked it too hard to keep up an over rate. 150 over match, why's it even two innings a side at this point?
