I want them to pitch it up to Head.   Make the fecker work harder for them instead of giving him the chance to smash it for 6.

[PaulWinch again]

This is daft to Head - really damaging runs.

8 overs, I’m going 9-3 at the close…Crawley to be out obv

Urgh god 250 odd and this is going to be hard.

just after playing a beautiful cover drive

Regardless of what happens from now on this is a remarkable performance by England bowlers. Two men down with Stokes not able to bowl and Robinson not effective, Bairstow’s keeping they have done superbly.

[Risso]

Right Crawley, you owe us a good innings.

[PaulWinch again]

Well done the openers. They’ve set a platform.

[Beard82]

It’s the hope that kills you.  They bowled brilliantly considering that stokes and Robinson can’t bowl. 

Brilliant from the two openers.  If we can avoid early wickets tomorrow it’s there for the taking

[PaulWinch again]

Crawley played smart in that session, Duckett less so. Just need to do the job tomorrow. You can score quick on this pitch and we’ve got a great opportunity.

[Risso]

Apart from a few shit balls to Head towards the end and the score being maybe 30 more than necessary, today has gone about as well as you could reasonably have hoped.

[PaulWinch again]

Yep we’ve got a real chance now. Just need to take it this time.

[PaulWinch again]

Well done the women as well. Capsey played a great knock.

[tomd2103]

Yep we’ve got a real chance now. Just need to take it this time.

Yep.  Just feel the opening partnership is key tomorrow.  Big ask, but if they can get us up around a hundred in quickish time, it will start to look doable.  Think one of the senior players should maybe step up and go in at three.  If say Moeen Ali were to go in at 3 and make a quick 20 or 30, it would help take a chunk out of the total.

Should be another great day of cricket tomorrow.

Another nail biting Sunday ahead! Last Sunday was edge of your seat stuff and I think today will be just the same!
