Apparently it's a one day game.

Dancing down the pitch and trying to flick it over the keepers head.

Surprised to be proven wrong. We are favourites now, no excuses. Just go out there tomorrow and win a game of test cricket for once in your lives

Frustrating the day ended when it did. We were strolling to victory there.

Their bowlers now have a night to rest up. If they get Root in the first few overs it's game on again.

More like 'game over' if Root is out

61 to go. To be honest, I wouldn't trust our bottom four to get more than about 20 so it still feels very evenly balanced.

Went to Lords today.  First time. 

At about 4 o clock yesterday I wasnt sure we were going to be  getting any play today so it was a real bonus and a very enjoyable day.

Cracking chase, excellent result. England remind me a bit of the West Indies in the late 90s early 2000s when they still had Walsh and Ambrose and Lara and Chanderpaul were brilliant but the other players weren't at the same level.

Cracking result England. Only downside to the second innings really is how cheaply Stokes chucked his wicket away. Other than that, fantastic, and Root well supported by Foakes too which must have been as nice a surprise for him as it was for us!

I know Stokes getting out was disappointing but think his innings changed the game - totally spooked Williamson into not bowling his spinner which meant his three main seamers were overbowled and got tired.

Some amusement in finding a captain worse at captaining spinners than Root mind.

Just a quickie, was quite the cricket fan in the 80's and early 90's but drifted away after that.

From looking at it from the periphery, there seem to be loads of tests not lasting 5 days nowadays, is this just that England are crap, or is it that pitches are favouring bowlers much more than they used to, or just bowling is generally better?
