Mark Wood was looking v weary by the end. I hope Stokes doesn’t squander his mate. He could do with sitting on his arse all day tomorrow. Hopefully the batters can do him the favour.
I still think our Bazball successes are a series of flukes, and none of it matters if we don't win this summer...But...If nothing else, it's given us phenomenal sporting stories. Like 8 consecutive Atherton vs Donald's.
Other test matches are proving to be more than just selection trials for the Ashes!
I think it's gone a bit beyond 'fluke' now. Even conceding 300 runs today would normally have seen like a mountain to climb under the previous leadership. I can see them rattling off 400 tomorrow.
And I think 'a series of flukes' is a bit of a contradiction in terms.

Ted Striker I was reading a book on PTSD today and the learned author recommends yoga and karate. As English cricket fans we carry some deep and old scars, maybe some hippy stretching and kung fu is the way forward.
I watch cricket, or any sport, for entertainment. I would rather watch a team have a hearty go - with the resulting glorious victorious and tragic defeats than pursue bland technical success through high percentage, low risk play.I still think our Bazball successes are a series of flukes, and none of it matters if we don't win this summer...But...If nothing else, it's given us phenomenal sporting stories.

Crawley. Well, what to do about that situation.
Should be a lead of around 100 by the end of play. Bat till lunch for a lead of 200 and well on the way to a clean sweep.

Joe Root opening the bowling is one of the more unorthodox things I have seen.
At least it allowed Wood to have 2 sleeps of recovery before bowling again. Plus what ever is up with Robinson and his flabby gut another day may help.
It's a spinners pitch. Nothing for the quicks at all. Nauman and Abrar bowled 65 of the 82 overs in England's innings.
Crowd's not been that bad from what I've seen in the highlights. The crowd has been concentrated in the areas with actual seats. Been a few thousand in.I can't remember seeing a stadium this empty for a test match.
Apparently the stands are delapidated and filthy, which isn't helping.
