Not quite the hat trick, but 3 in 4 and a 5-fer!

88/6

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Wow. 5 for him now!!
3 wicket maiden coming up?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Blinding catch by Pope to get Woakes in on the act.

88/7

 

[Squeak]

Oh my word... now that's a hell of a catch by Pope...

 

[Squeak]

Why do these catches never seem to stick v the Aussies?

They do

We also need to stop framing everything around the Ashes, saw a bit of it this week. Win the games that are right there now, the rest sorts itself out if you do.

Totally agree.... about framing things around the Ashes. A lot of time before we head to Australia in 2025/2026 and much can happen. I disagree with pensioning Jimmy off now. If he's good enough, play him.

Catches... think Crawley needs a brush up on that.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I get Joseph playing a few shots but that's a shocker.

106/8

 

[Squeak]

Nothing to lose by attacking for Joseph... a good little knock for 17

You are typing these out before I've heard them on the radio commentary. I'd forgotten that I'd paused it for a couple of minutes

 

[Sniffer]

7 for Atkinson!

 

[Squeak]

Yikes... 7 for 36 for Atkinson.... can he get 8 and be the first to do so?

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Windies being skittled now

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That's an incredible "shot" by the other Joseph

Atkinson has 7

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

121 all out, Jimmy gets the last one

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

England absolutely dominated that session but quite a collapse from West Indies

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

88/3 -> 121 all out is very England 1990s.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Rubbish shot by Duckett, "I don't leave the ball" gets pretty old sometimes.

Two sessions that already have me checking out the refund functionality on the Lords app. Day four tickets always looked like needing a good drop of rain in the preceding days - and of course it’s the only time all summer that a bad forecast has suddenly cleared up FFS!

I'm concerned about my day 4 tickets next week, will be doing a rain dance on the first 3 days
