I can't connect to wi fi at work so don't fancy draining my data allowance.

Besides last time I tried it didn't work on virgin media with an android device.

I upgraded to unlimited data specifically for this purpose. I originally had 1GB and it was useless.

Rameez Raja on TMS said the pitch here is drier than normal for this ground, so it might help the bowlers more than usually, later on.
I always say that everybody's right.

I'm using the remains of a contract which my daughter had, which gives 1GB a month which as you say is useless if you want to live stream away from wi fi. Like you I'll be looking for more or unlimited data next. Currently have unlimited minutes and texts which I hardly use.

Just done a bit of research, think that android devices now work with the app, I know when I phoned VM, they said only IOS but android would be sorted soon
Appears it has been.

Think my next phone will have to have a 6 inch screen, 5 inches is no longer adequate.......ooer.

It appears the host broadcaster has adverts almost every over and SKY posts the scorecard and goes silent. Not seen that with SKY before.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

Yorkshire fans can at least be happy. Rashid is making sure damn hard that he is never going to be called up for an international again. He is yours exclusively.

Can Yorkshire lads only play with other Yorkshire lads? Bairstow has been pretty much a flop, Lyth is a candidate for the worst opener ever to play more than 2 games for England, and now Rashid's debut is turning very sour.

217 is the record give away by an Englishman in tests, if Pakistan bat through the 3rd session he has a chance of becoming the most expensive bowler in an innings in history!!! He will almost certainly make the podium, only a few boundaries away now

At least Tredwell keeps it tight. Won't happen though, his England career is over. They won't add to the 3 spinners unless there's an injury no matter how bad they perform.
