Whilst seeing Wales knock off the winning runs batting in a slip would be absolute box office, I just hope Smith and Overton calmly see it thru today

Going to get rained off isn’t it? It’s going to be frustrating with it being so tight. Looked quite bright yesterday evening when they did interviews

I'm just 5 or so miles from the ground and I've looked at a couple of weather forecasts. Rain isn't forecast until around 2pm but light might deteriorate before then. If there isn't a 'not bright enough for pace bowling' judgement from the umpires then it should be over before lunch. I'm fairly confident that there will be enough time for a result.

There will almost certainly be a result before lunch.
The weather down here is very mild.

There are 5 English batters. They only need 7 runs each.
Should be easy. But it almost certainly won’t be.

ESPN say Woakes to bat if necessary

How rude was that of my boss to call me at 10.57 to go through something. Doesn't she know I have other priorities this morning!?

 

[Tashman]

Bloody hell, this is nerve jangling!

 

[Beebo]

That was a dodgy umpires call. Especially as once you give it out it favours the bowling’s team.

 

[Tashman]

nah, that was a fine call although I had it going down on real time viewing. You can argue the opposite easily too in various situations.

 

[laurentian]

. . . well our one remaining batter comes out batting one - handed . . . 17 needed

 

[Tashman]

How does Umpire Rana always look so disinterested?

 

[Dogtrousers]

Two more of those please, Gus

 

[Pross]

Never seen anyone bat one-handed like this before. Crazy

Bonkers enough followung on the web.
