Has there ever been an innings where 10 and 11 are top scorers?

Every England innings when Root gets out cheaply?

Another fucking pathetic effort to add to the plethora of fucking pathetic efforts.  Is Graham Thorpe still enjoying 6 month holidays abroad as the batting coach?

He was sacked after the Ashes.

Innocuous stuff from England so far.

Used to be that the bowling attack could get an iffy batting lineup out of jail.

100-6 now so not as innocuous as it might seem.

They mentioned it this morning. Some time back in the 1880s I think they said!

The pitch seems to flatten throgh the day and get easier so 15-20ish overs tonight would be huge to build a lead.

Yeah, that was posted after 16 overs.

The game has moved on a wee bit since then, with a half fit Stokes the lightning rod (as usual).

I know, was just pointing out how quickly things had changed.

It’s two poor/average sides with a sprinkling of quality players. Interesting though.

softer ball and the dead evening ptich is taking full effect now, game has become a bit of a grind again, just like it did last night.

I just looked up the test when Jason Gillespie made 200, thinking there must've been some high scores in the lower order there. But of course, he was nightwatchman.
