    Fucking line doesn’t move …. Come on basic stuff ffs 
    No balls should be like beamers.
    Two in an innings and you are out of the attack.

    Pleased for Woakes on the 5fer.

    Hoping he doesn't stew on the 17 extra runs too much!

    It's Crawley's catching stats I feel for

    Good ball but poor by Duckett

    Duckett's unwillingness to leave costs him

    9-1 in the 3rd over is a tough ask for Mooen

    Moeen. Please. Put that one away.

    Bought tickets this morning for Sunday as our tickets for Saturday look like a refund and a visit to the football museum for the 2nd time this year! Should get a bit of play tomorrow but forecast looking worse than it was earlier in week.

    Thought so - poor decision from the umpire

    That's a fucking appalling decision in the first place, would have gone for 4 byes it was that far down leg

    Did it cost us a run as well? looked like they went through for a single but Crawley was back on strike next ball?

    The ball is dead as soon as the LBW decision is given. That did, potentially, stop a run from being scored but it also meant that neither of the batsmen could be run out

    Won't quote the whole post but that Article about Ali is bang on. If he can make 2 starts and 1 half start in 4 innings that will be job done. Doesn't need to go big just contribute. 
    Job 1 done Mo. Eaten up some balls to get to lunch, protect Root and co from the new ball and has got a decent start. Anything from here is a bonus. Would love him to go on and get a big one.

    The selecters being rewarded for keeping faith in him.
    But tbh there is hardly any opening batsmen knocking the door down to be selected anyway.

    Moeen looking like the batsman who bowls a bit of spin as well, he started off as.

    Mo out for 54. Caught at mid wicket off Starc. Good reaction catch.

    130-2

    Shame he couldn't go on but I'd have taken 54 from Moeen at 3!

    Root coming in at 130-2 - he’s done his job
