Well,  this is Test match cricket....

I can enjoy T20 but this is a million times better. Hope the weather sods off and we get a proper finish.

Regardless of how this game ends, I’m looking forward to a couple of days at the Edgbaston test in a few days time. Anyone else going? I’m in the West Stand Upper on days 2 and 3.

Yikes, 69 runs seems plenty right now.

[cdbearsfan]

I think they're a wicket away from going favourites.

Next 2/3 overs are vital now.

[Villan For Life]

New ball due in 10 overs that will probably be key.

[olaftab]

I think Jamie Smith has played really well since Stokes threw away his wicket.

This is only the third test match in the history of cricket where all four innings have been 350 or more

Incredible stat. Can’t be argued that England have made Test cricket highly watchable these past 2-3 years.

The run chase has been expertly paced today.

This is a superb win. Well done England. Looking forward to Edgbaston next week as I am there for Day1 and day 3.

What a chase that is and what a Test.

Brilliant match, brilliant win.

[manic-road]

Brilliant win, finished in style.

[Villan For Life]

What a fantastic test match with both sides on top at various stages throughout the five days.

I don’t think that anyone doubted that this side would go for it today and the sensible approach was clear to see, underpinned by a great innings by Duckett.

Three of the four of England’s highest 4th innings runs chases have been in the last 6 years with two of them under McCullum & Stokes.

I bloody love test cricket

Wahey.
