Mo batting nicely now.

Almost certain to be out in the next 2 overs now I've said that.
Exactly. I worry when he starts flowing.

Especially seeing as he could obviously have been on more if he hadn't 'retired'.

Yeah can’t be long before Crawley gets his eye “out” either

That 4 Moeen got from Cummins first delivery after Lunch was just beautiful, perfect cover drive. He then showed he's still the Moeen we know and love by wafting a nothing shot at the next one.

Got to love him, cricket is never dull when Mo is involved.

The one player for whom Bazball wasn't much of a change!

Glad to see we're going after the spinner, I'm absolutely in favour of us making their decision to go with 5 seamers look fucking stupid.

This pair are the 2 who benefit most from being allowed to just go for it if they want to.

10 from two balls for Crawley. Thus getting about half his usual score in two balls! ;)

(I know, he's better than that these days)

It’s a funny old partnership to watch….expecting a wicket every ball so feels like a bonus watching scoreboard tick over

Moeen gone but I think he's done the job he was there for and fully justified them sticking with him at 3.
