There's still a slight possibility we could win it from here.

A nice 200 run chase off 30 overs might be interesting.

Arthur looks like the goodwill series of nz was an one off.
Stokes, Broad all got warning, with broad getting a fine for telling Umpire twice to get on with the game when Umpire was giving him a warning for kicking the pitch.

Saying that nice to see umpires stop sledging when it starts getting a bit heated, before that sledging went to far and umpires never intervened before it was too late.

Hopefully we should never see Jadeja/Anderson, Anderson/Clarke, Mc grath/Sarwan and probably many more incidents.

Also quite funny that England never learn that sledging just never works, always motivates a batsman to do better, Even Tino best got motiavated the 2nd time and scored 95 :laugh
not only that motivates the team as well.

Will Stokes open up his shoulders? Hope not, for now :)

Trouble is he's not great at playing a restrictive game.

Wonder whether Bob Willis will revise his views on Chris Morris.

Gave him a right slagging down after day two.

Surely this would have to be the highest first innings score in test history to end up losing?
