English cricket - winter 2016/2017.

Well, 214-3 looks much better than 180-1, but I still don't see England getting 20 wickets. Draw is the best we can hope for in this test.

[Baron Greenback]

They taken apart our spinners and generally played very well but a draw is in order unless we collapse again.

Heading towards another crushing innings defeat I see.

Lead of 130 and the evening session to go. Slog it for an hour get a lead of 230ish, then stick us in for an hour. I can more or less guarantee we'll be about 40-2 at the close facing a mental mountain of men around the bat and ridiculous appealing on a minefield pitch tomorrow.

[Baron Greenback]

Ugly by us and great batting by Nairobi!

749-6 wtf

[spikeyhead]

That's been a bit of a bum raping.

Just needs some sensible batting for the draw, but I'm not sure we have the energy left for it.

[hornetrider]

Allowing Nair to reach three hundred has given us a chance of rescuing a draw. I doubt we will mind.

[spikeyhead]

Nothing can go wrong from here, except the general good of cricket when only 17 wickets have fallen on 13 sessions.

[Baron Greenback]

5 down already a some dropped catches! Painful!

[Gandahar]

Our normal 4 or 5 wicket mini collapse in a session to make it more interesting than it was should be

I spent typing that with one finger we lost another wicket and boycott is not happy

Boycott must be fuming. Not seen the wickets, but from the BBC it seems the typical feeble batting we have seen constantly from England on this tour.

[Baron Greenback]

Holy crap 7 down, please no innings defeat!

[BlackLabel]

Pathetic.

[anonymous-user]

Only 50 mins left.

[hornetrider]

Can anyone dig in?

Butler is the only one who can try and block to the end now, but I think we are goners

[Gandahar]

lol, on the bright side England have broken another record. Biggest innings loss from the highest opening session score.....

sigh

[Challo]

Cook to resign as skipper?? I hope so.
