Get the dog to take you to the vets.

 

Had my rabies jabs last year mate.

 

I knew I was pushing my luck for a third time, as I see we lost Woakes. Decent innings from him though. 

[TheBitch]

I'd just like to add...

 

Fuck off Lords.

Champagne corks on the boundary and a long room full of cunts.

230/8 now as Archer is out. We'll get to see Aussies bat this evening, I wouldn't be surprised to see them 2 or 3 down by the end of play. 

[Pureblood]

Walkies!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Only so many pisses the dog needs mate. I suppose I could nip to the Kiosk for a few bottles of amber nectar. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Forget that though, just started to hammer it down here and looks set in for the evening now. Hopefully stops for 11pm and my last walk with the mut.

I would heartily recommend a trek lasting approximately six weeks. Saddle up!

I doubt it would help much. Although it looks like we'll be putting up a competitive score, I fancy Archer to cause carnage. 

 

Bairstow gets his 50. About time he performed with the bat. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

258 all out. Over to Broad and Archer. 

[Jairzinho]

All out for 130 here.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I fancy a couple of early wickets here, then bring Archer on to pepper Smiths ribs and grill. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Pepper them in the ribs lad.

Has the pitch been this slow all day? (been out and haven't seen much of the game).

They had to fit in that interminable World Cup somewhere.

The world cup was better than most cricket I've seen in years. Five day cricket is barely interesting any more. I don't see how its sustainable myself.

It's been a bit on the slow side, yeah. Ball not going through to the keeper that well. Archer getting extra pace though.

Prediction: Smith will get 100+ again and make it look like England are bowling with a beach ball.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Broad clean bowls Warner who was begging to be bowled all his short innings. 

[Bjornebye]

Brilliant. Get out you cheating prick. Nice bit of doubt for them overnight.

I counteract that with, 'Smith won't make 30 in either of his innings, Archer will have his number.'

Oof. I like your prediction more than mine.

So do I, although either could be right. I don't think Smith is any great shakes early doors in his innings, hard to get out once he is set mind. 

 

England openers bowling excellently here. I can deffo see them 3 down by the end of play. 

[Scooby Dudek]

I think Smith with get out cheaply this innings. 

Hopefully get him in/out this evening.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I see Oman beat Scotland in a one day match...

[Captain Howdy]

Broad bowling well here
