And another and... !

Wow, Bell has just earned his place in the next Test! :eek:

Shocking drop there. On the plus side: nice to see Cook hitting single figures again.

You've still got the crowd for entertainment.

70 more for the win.

Cosimo · 31 Jul 2015 at 14:20

Lyth gone. Still 70.

el_dazza · 31 Jul 2015 at 14:21

Lyth gone for 12..

Bosh, straight back into the boundaries!

Sankari · 31 Jul 2015 at 14:22

Lyth. 2 for 51.

el_dazza said:
How many will Lyth go for then, 8?

Not much more than that!

Azza · 31 Jul 2015 at 14:23

Joe Root wants to get to Cannon Hill and enjoy the sunshine!

Semple · 31 Jul 2015 at 14:24

Lyth, terrible as always. And wasting a review!

Deiwos · 31 Jul 2015 at 14:24

Can we just drop Lyth already? I know I said I wouldn't pick Hales but I would at this point. Anything is better than Lyth.

Hopefully he'll be bringing out the drinks at trent bridge.

Lyth: 'Here's your drink.'
Cook: 'Hey, I ordered orange juice. This is apple!'
Lyth: 'Just a second' [gets on his mobile phone for a few minutes]
Lyth: 'I reviewed it. You're still getting apple.'

Very slow game, the last 10 overs the run rate is just tanking. I would have thought they'd want to wrap this up by today so they can get out on the golf course tomorrow.

Sankari · 31 Jul 2015 at 14:56

England needs 47 runs in two and a half days, with 8 wickets up their sleeve. I'll call this a foregone conclusion and go to bed.

Congratulations England, it was a great game!

omnomnom · 31 Jul 2015 at 15:26

BANG Root with a 6.

Just win it though eh lads...im still nervous even though we only need 25 with 8 wickets lol
