bowlers aswell

I am watching the highlights and the Taylor wicket looked clearly a no ball to me.

England looking good and have a young team, Saffers look hopeless without Steyn.

bloody hell what a start.. stokes bashing it to all parts and brings up his 100 in no time..

Stokes and Bairstow: 150 partnership off 148 balls.

Any Stat geeks on here???.... when was the last time a pair of gingers shared a 150 stand in Test cricket?

England should be aiming for 500 now. Minimum

Brilliant opening half hour....ODI speed...or better

Best test side in the world....

1st decent ball today...

Lovely reverse sweep

Stokes closing on 150

where the feck is everyone

we are watching the entertainment..

...morning

Hoho...fetch

Neo will be gutted for having the extra sleep again.

Amazing hitting from Stokes

Let's get some perspective though... Stokes is doing it against a reserves Saffers bowling attack. Saffers lack a quality 'wahab type' of bowler who could steam in with reverse swing at 90mph. As impressive as stokes has been, Saffers bowlers Wouldn't get in my local pub team

Note - I said local pub team and not India's. Reckon they'd still walk into the Indian line up

Quite right...but if that's the best back up the No1 test side can muster up...I say tough...and club the feckers silly

Sherrif,


Agree with that. England will win this and with white-wash victories almost guaranteed vs Lanka and Pakistan this summer, England will be no1 in no time.
