The England Cricket Thread

The pitch is misbehaving so should be a good days cricket. Hope the rest of the series continues in this way. It has been compelling viewing!

England need quick wickets this morning with weather coming in.

Looks like the weather isn't going to save them

BBC Weather's Chris Fawkes explains: "There will be rain in Cardiff during Sunday morning but the timing of the clearance of the rain is a little uncertain. Most of our computer models clear the rain before play is due to start so this is the most likely outcome, the worst case scenario is that rain could linger till around midday. Sunday afternoon looks mostly dry though with skies brightening up, but there is a small chance of a fleeting afternoon shower."

I doubt we will reach 250 on this pitch. Not feeling confident about the other tests. We've felt Harris' absence badly, and it's only going to get worse now that we've lost Starc as well.

The pitch is looking a bit roughed up, though not quite in a night-out-with-David-Warner state.

Hooray, Rogers has slashed the target to a perfectly manageable 408!

:rolleyes:

ROGERS Gone!! 19-1

Sankari · 11 Jul 2015 at 11:47

Rogers! 1 for 19.

Sankari · 11 Jul 2015 at 12:01

Come on Warner, you're not playing T20. Settle down for the long game please!

Sankari · 11 Jul 2015 at 13:00

Warner! 2 for 97, looks like he's caught a dose of Watson.

BUT AT LEAST HE DIDN'T REVIEW!

Just wish it hadn't been the last over before lunch.

Top class bowling from Broad today.

Big wicket!

Sankari · 11 Jul 2015 at 13:46

Smith! 3 for 101 and it's all over now.

Jimbeam3678 · 11 Jul 2015 at 14:05

And another Clark gone

Sankari · 11 Jul 2015 at 14:05

Clarke! 4 for 106.

Jimbeam3678 · 11 Jul 2015 at 14:08

And another comedy gold

McBain · 11 Jul 2015 at 14:08

106-5

Sankari · 11 Jul 2015 at 14:09

Voges! 5 for 106. Pack your bags boys, it's time to think about the next test.

Sankari · 11 Jul 2015 at 14:09

England are ****-a-hoop, Wood running around like a One Direction fan who's just spotted Harry!

McBain · 11 Jul 2015 at 14:34

6 down, what a catch :eek:

Pighardia · 11 Jul 2015 at 14:35

Great catch!

Sankari · 11 Jul 2015 at 14:36

Haddin! 6 for 122. And now we have Watson, the walking wicket.

Killer catch, that was a showstopper.
