    Think I'll watch the rest with the sound down, can't stand anymore of Atherton's Aussie arse licking...

    We don't need stokes to save the day as it stands. England need to put the ball into gaps and punish the bad balls.

    if stokes, woakes and bairstow all het their averages, England win

    A certain irony if Bairstow steps up and clatters England to victory. These things happen. 
    Hope he does. 

    Or anyone does to be honest!!

    The dreaded lunch break to interfere with the momentum and flow!

    Would have taken that score at lunch if offered before the start to be honest.

    "Today looks set fair with the weather forecast, you just know we will be 4 down before lunch, but I still expect cap'n Stokes to get us over the line",...

    Take no pleasure from being spot on with my pre lunch prediction, just hope the second part comes to fruition...👍

    That was a tense 135 minutes.

    Agree with Atherton, it was more about Harry Brook coming in later, than Ali coming in at 3. 

    After the First two tests Harry Brook needs to prove his 65 average is a true reflection of his skills.

    As it turns out, every run is a slightly bigger percentage than the last. :-)

    Oh dear.

    I did say we cant always rely on him to get us over the line.

    Brooks & Bairstow will have to be our saviours.

    What about wickets ?

    I imagine it's gone down to 60/40.
