We're bollocksing this up with some really loose play.

[PaulWinch again]

Root has thrown it away there as well. This is pretty careless.

[Villan For Life]

It's getting a little disappointing. Taylor got out to a most un-Taylor like shot and Root having just reached 50 got out to a very poor shot. Time for the lower middle order to earn their corn.

[PaulWinch again]

Stokes and Bairstow have done a great job.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

That blazing last session was a decent palliative for another Villa "performance". Kudos to Stokes and Bairstow.

Stokes and Bairstow have done a great job.

Yep, they have put us in a decent position.  If we can get up to or close to 450 we'll be in a good place.

[OzVilla]

I reckon this will be a raging Bunsen by days 4 and 5. Vital we get 400+ here now.

Stokes in full 2020 mode third morning. Incredible innings.

[Monty]

Fuck me has this been fun.

[OzVilla]

I'm loving this. See, sport really can be fun.

[Villan For Life]

Stokes has been incredible and well supported by Bairsow. 211 runs in 33 over is fantastic.

[PaulWinch again]

This is bonkers, Stokes is incredible.

[aj2k77]

This is the sort of thing you used to see Australia in their pomp do, Gilchrist come in and take the game away from you in a couple of hours.

[PaulWinch again]

Great support from Bairstow, but this is superhuman from Stokes.
