Done his job, time to move on now

Don't know why holding was asking him to hit out or get out. When you in the runs u cash in and don't give your wicket away. You never know when the time comes where you can't buy a run.

wanna see a 200-0 with Burns and Sibley or is that a bit far

Holding can say what he likes

Do you think we might finally reach 400 ?

600?

401 not out for Stokes

its not his game so it was pretty clear he was trying to rotate the strike

I get what Holding is saying though, he didn't need to go T20 mode but being a bit more adventurous on 120* is fair.

Top innings though.

Pope

Yeah, sigh. Pope not living up to his billing this series thus far. He'll get there though.

C'mon then Jos, show us what you got

Jos almost out for a duck

The slowing of the run rate since Sibley went shows the good job Sibley was doing. Stokes has had to reign himself in a bit since the wickets.

4 first-innings wickets for Royston Chase

Precisely. The whole hit out or get out thing is pretty irrelevant at this stage of the test. It's not like we were going nowhere with Stokes moving things along at the other end.

Christ we bat slow...375 in five sessions. Any other side would have about 500

Problem Phenom ?

Tbf is more just making an observation and having a whinge. I’m happy with how we’re going. Better than the usual 230 all out

never a problem with you

Question, how long will it take to bowl WI out twice?

Hard to say. They have a bit more batting about them then they used to. Maybe seven sessions

Was hoping we’d put them in this evening but Root will want close to 500 on the board. If we get going we might reach that and then have 40 minutes to bowl at them
