Touch and go for the record now.

Touch and go for the record now.

No

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Depends which record. Brook has just missed out on the Gilbert Jessop one.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Depends entirely upon the light meters

The opening day one.

 

[Dinowolf]

Beautiful shot through the covers to the boundary brings up a century for Brook

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Biggest post-war day one score now. Aus got 482 vs SA in 2012.

 

[Sniffer]

Another over - should do it now.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Need 2 runs. Done it

 

[Dinowolf]

Stokes having fun

 

[Sniffer]

500 up!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Booooo. Not allowed to beat Sri Lanka 509 in a day.

 

[Carrotdude]

Regardless of the pitch, that’s a seriously impressive effort

 

[Johnny75]

Ludicrous they've got 500 in less than 75 overs.

 

[Dinowolf]

Stokes hits 406404 and the umpires decide to stop play for bad light?
FFS.

3 short of the best ever first day score of 509 by Sri Lanka v Bangladesh

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

How the batsmen are scoring is irrelevant and they haven't been offered the choice in at least 15 years, maybe 20.

It's an objective reading, this level is ok, this level isn't.

The Day One record was 494, we went past it.

Sri Lanka scored 509 on Day Two, that still isn't the record (though loads more overs were bowled in the leader from 1936)

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Yes. If only someone had been posting the 1 day and any day records since 3 hours ago. I reckon I must be on ignore for most of the forum.

 

[Dinowolf]

I didn't watch the whole day but there was some very ordinary bowling from Pakistan

No-one could ever ignore you Paddy

It's becoming a notorious road (there were over 1,100 runs for 14 wickets when Australia played here in March) but you still have to score the runs and it's a question of mindset as much as anything. The days of us crawling to 220-250 in a day are gone.
