Bairstow is whacking it around. :bow:
Quite a few edges but not much is carrying.
Trott moves on to 52.
120-4 at lunch, quite pleased with that.
This has to be the partnership though, Prior can't be relied on if there are more than 80 runs to get.
2 sessions to go, 6 wickets remaining
220 odd runs to get
Decent batting line up to come
England favourites imo if they play to score runs and win. The key is Trott. Play as he usually does with his 4 runs in 48 balls type style and England lose. Quicken it up, put the pressure on the South Africans and who knows.
Come on England&SA
Come on Trott. :bow:
Show Gilchrist is hiding behind that Boycott exterior.
India beat Pakistan in the U19 WC quarter final. Very low scoring game (winning total 130) but India had 10 runs to get on the last wicket and they edged home.
Pakistan :lol:
Even their kids are losing when it matters.
South Africa beat England in that too. :rolleyes:
Bairstow gets his 50. :bow
Impressive from Bairstow whoever he is
90 odd in the first innings and another 50 this
Needs that century though
134-5, Tahir bowls Bairstow. :(
Sehwag's will never last.
Front foot forward son or you're going to get fucked in India in November.
England not doing well then?
Really should have picked KP.
It's a good thing for Philander that only captains can review it when team are fielding. :haha:
Kallis you legend!
146-6, Trott goes for 63. Superb catch from Kallis off Steyn's bowling.
Was at Lord's yesterday. Sat behind Martin Keown :lol:
England clearly waited far too long to give Finn a run. Can't fathom how someone that good could be left out for Bresnan and Broad...the ain't broke don't fix it doesn't cut it. Though yes, he is still a bit expensive, but takes fantastic wickets.
That's pretty cool. Did you have a chance for a quick word with Keown?
Not much. Got an autograph at the end of the day. told him I was Arsenal. Not sure I had him down as an Ingerlish cricket connoisseur.
Yeah he's an odd one. He's a very rational, balanced pundit in all.
BBC expert, Lord's cricket...mans sold out.
England have got a real chance here. They're both well set. Swann to come. Do-able.
208-7, Broad goes.
Why the fuck isn't Broad walking?
Fuck off you pathetic ****.
Think Broad (or the umpires) forgot he is 7ft 4.
221-7 at tea. 33 overs left, hmmm, England really need to cut loose before the new ball comes.
Swann is listening to me apparently.
This is do-able, it really is.
I've put a tenner on England (returns £80) - not for emotional comfort but because I really do think England can do it.
Swann! :haha:
100 needed.
Don't keep doing the reverse sweep Prior.
85 needed. :faint:
Jesus wept.
Required run rate is only 2.6 now, big help with the new ball only two overs away.
Swann is run out. Shit.
Prior you muppet.
283-9.
It's a no ball! Morkel. :haha:
284-8, to reiterate.
What is Prior doing? So nearly stumped. I think his foot is just about in, on the angle.
Get back Jimmy FFS!
New ball time. Fuck.
Every single ball on TMS sounds like the stumps are being destroyed.
Quite unnerving.
294-9, Philander gets Prior. :rolleyes:
And there it is
