That's a sitter of a stumping, got to be taken.

 

[Wolvensam]

Big mistake from Bairstow, should have been 2 for Mo.

Don't say it... don't say it... don't say it...

 

[Mel Evo]

My son said it straight away. Good lad!

 

[AndyWolves]

Delicately poised

Look a bit short of ideas against these two currently.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They aren't scoring quickly enough to get in a position to take a commanding lead any time soon. Like they'd need to bat for pretty much an entire extra day from here, and it's probably going to rain for part of tomorrow.

 

[jd1981]

No but just don’t think you’ll skittle anyone on this pitch either unless they have a meltdown.

 

[Wolvensam]

Yeah, they’ve not got the run rate to cause England any sort of a problem - but a wicket would be useful just to turn the screw a bit. I think it’s going to rely on an Australia drop in concentration.

 

[AndyWolves]

That might be the difference, we chucked a few wickets away yesterday

 

[Wolvensam]

There we go!

 

[Wolvensam]

Lovely bowl by Mo, that.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Fair play Mo, been shite for most of the innings but that's a peach.

 

[Mel Evo]

FFS YJB

 

[Wolvensam]

Lovely.

Edit: Or not.

 

[Johnny75]

Should be 2 in 2 overs but no return

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Very tight but over is over.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Had a chance to knock them over tonight with those two.

Looks instead like we’re going to have a small lead at best or a deficit at worst

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They need to score another 200 here to take command, and it'll take them ages to get there it seems.

 

[jd1981]

I think we’ve been poor with the new ball line and length been very varied

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Unlike you to take a negative outlook.

If offered you a 50+ lead at close of Day Two with only their bowlers to come would you have taken it?
