england really unlikely to bat again

and we could seriously get 3 sessions overall with the forecast

Bairstow back in favour again?

He's averaging about 40 with the bat this series but it's his wicketkeeping that's been suspect (tbf he took an excellent catch the other day)

is it or is it not. khawaja looked very confused

Just a sneaky tickle

Barry Weiss · 21 Jul 2023 at 15:59

come on

we need a few wickets

fez · 21 Jul 2023 at 17:11

If thats not a catch then no catch in the history of the game has ever been a catch!1!1!!

Participant · 21 Jul 2023 at 17:11

Mark Wood not bowling can only be because there's an issue surely? Otherwise it's utterly bizarre.

Jonny Bairstow has just dropped his helmet that's been passed to him.

Hopefully that's not a sign of things to come...

Can we extend play tonight and wrap up this farce

Mercenary Keyboard Warrior · 21 Jul 2023 at 18:23

Still 20 odd minutes

Participant · 21 Jul 2023 at 18:27

International cricket is lethal for being left hanging these days. Everyone constantly wants a high five.

Trusty · 21 Jul 2023 at 18:37

One more in the last few overs would be lovely, but dont think many can complain at getting 4 wickets though. Been an unbelievable day.

omnomnom · 21 Jul 2023 at 18:42

They really should be playing another half hour and considering the weather over the weekend its ridiculous that they cant just extend it by 30 mins.

Psycho Ned · 21 Jul 2023 at 18:48

If we get half a days play in the next 2 days I fancy Aus are sunk here. Just have to wait on the weather now.

Participant · 21 Jul 2023 at 19:29

It currently looks like there will basically be no play at the weekend, at all.

It's ridiculous. Makes me laugh when the powers that be moan about over rates and yet won't enforce playing until 7 when possible.
