Have you ever heard of reverse psychology?

Shout.

Not looking like getting any wickets... 

[EastAnglianFox]

These pair will bat all day.....

[foxfanazer]

Where's the rain?

[Super_horns]

Time for a wicket !

 

Good job we didn't declare only 189 runs ahead 

[Lcfc-1992]

Getting to that time for Stokes to get a wicket

[UniFox21]

And this is exactly what is wrong with test cricket.

If conditions aren't perfect then they're inclined to take them off the field 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Yet 90mph in The Hundred would be perfectly acceptable. 

[foxfanazer]

I honestly had no idea that the umpires could dictate who can and can't bowl due to conditions

Nothing about the Hundred is remotely acceptable.

To be pedantic, they can't actually dictate who can bowl, but they can say 'it's too dark for someone that fast, if you use him we'll stop play.' Which has much the same effect of course - unless the bowling side want play stopped...

Still loads of play to be had I reckon; plenty of time for England.

Flood warnings in Manchester tomorrow there's so much rain due. 

[Md9]

Any decent streams for this?

[UniFox21]

Another absolute plum out not called by the umpire 

[Milky]

These umpires have no place at the top level of the game. 

[trabuch]

Big wicket that. Thank heavens for drs

I think some of the bat hit the glove as well. But who cares, he’s out. Bairstow knew straight away. 

[foxile5]

Big wicket. Hopefully there's an hour left.
