If it stays overcast for 3 days 225 will be competitive on here. Not sure what forecast is.

I'm thinking you might be right, this looks like a tough pitch to get in on and looks really tough to rotate the strike.

Nice fightback but once again too many failures among the recognised batsmen.
It is good that England are allowing players time and not chopping and changing but Compton must be on very thin ice now.

Hi guys. can anyone recommend a good stream. Tried Tunein and it won't play the Cricket. Can't get the bbc site due to not being in the country...

Any help gratefully received.

PS Looking at the score, I may give it a miss...

All I can get on that is the Bindippers end of Season party last night being re-run...

Bairstow is doing what I hoped Stokes would here and putting pressure on the bowlers.  This has become a very good partnership now and looks to have pushed us back towards par.

I did raise an eyebrow when I saw that Bairstow was batting as low as seven, but he has been needed today.  Need this partnership to continue, Ali to get a score and the tail to wag a bit.

Yeah I'd have thought Compton is close. He just doesn't seem to cope with pressure too well. He normally starts a series ok, although not today, and then goes downhill the more the pressure comes on.
