Oldest test centurion for 82 years.

Thought Boycott might have been in the mix for that stat.

Ten overs short at the scheduled close.

With these two batsmen set I'm not sure the new ball will create a lot of problems in these conditions. We just have to hope it does something.

A late wicket would make it a decent day for England. Not a terrble day without one.

Another case of win the toss, win the match.

Or at least draw it.

Give Woakes the new ball? Too much of a snub to Ball?

by **Aidan11** » Thu Jul 14, 2016 6:05 pm

Of course not a great amount of runs scored so a collapse could still happen early tomorrow.

by **Aidan11** » Thu Jul 14, 2016 6:05 pm

320 all out would be optimistic though.

Tomorrow morning is the most likely time to get wickets, a little morning dew to freshen the pitch and batsmen having to start again.

by **Aidan11** » Thu Jul 14, 2016 6:19 pm

Movement there from Woakes.

by **Aidan11** » Thu Jul 14, 2016 6:19 pm

And he gets a wicket next ball.

by **Aidan11** » Thu Jul 14, 2016 6:20 pm

Tried to take his bat away.

Scorecard looks better for us now.

by **hopeforthebest** » Thu Jul 14, 2016 6:21 pm

Woakes does it again, asking silently why he didn't get the new ball this morning and again this evening. The Quiet man just gets on with it.

by **Aidan11** » Thu Jul 14, 2016 6:27 pm

Don't think we''ll get Misbah before close now.
