    Entertaining this Bazball stuff aint it ?  No matter about the result we're here to entertain.  :o

    Root and Bairstow dropped catches and they are batsmen (batters).
    you're splitting hairs somewhat, but perhaps 'the batting' rather than 'the batsmen' will improve the statement's accuracy ?

    You can always rely on Mark Wood. Whatever he does. On or off the pitch.

    Good hitting from Wood but hope the last two try to stick around and give Stokes the strike

    Stokes is just a phenomenon .. the definition of a tough and iron willed warrior sportsman

    Bad luck by Starc there. If he'd managed to grab it after it had bounced a couple of times, he'd have been able to claim it.

    At least we have got to 200. Dont think we'll be getting too many more. But a deficit of under 50 will be ok.

    Annoyingly 200 could have easily been a lead if we'd taken our catches.

    After the first innings at Lords I was genuinely at the point of wondering if you drop/rest him because of knee issue.

    215 and counting in the two innings since!!

    They would have gone for 150 if we had taken the catches, but 50 behind isn't the worst

    How he does it, when fit, I don't know. How he's doing it with two injured legs is absolutely unbelievable.

    On the flip side considering at 142-7 at lunch Australia will be gutted their lead is under 40

    it is a shame that Stokes knee is completely fucked, but amazing the runs he has managed to get.

    We are the walking wounded though which is concerning.
