Only 2 overs from Jimmy after tea, shame he couldn't bowl one or two more.
Fack these two...stood about doing nothing...
Ah, just a switch of ends.
Some clouds about...and inevitably the wind's got up

Mine will get yours
Need more men around the bat for Leach and men closer in cutting off 1s, encourage them to play the big shot.
Nas... Just reiterating my issue about yorkers...i.e. none
When I'm emperor I will make yorkers mandatory... At least one per over

Prediction for COP
SL 220 for 5
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We're getting there
Mathews will see the innings out
What's left... is it 45 minutes...or more
220-5 would leave it quite open with their tail
if its Mathews we get out before close reckon we've just nicked the day.

I think it's meant to finish at half 11 but still 16 and a half overs left so likely finish at 12.
Jimmy and Curran will probably get a few overs with the new ball although I think I'd let Leach keep bowling and use it.
Yeah the light looks ok now
This has been a terrific effort from Mark Wood. Not sure he should be bowling such a long spell but fair play to him. 1/16 in this 8 over spell and Leach has been better too in keeping things tight from the other end.
Shame not to nip another one out before the close. I think I would have tried Leach for a few overs with the new ball rather than Curran and then given Curran a go first thing tomorrow.
wasn't far out with my prediction...another wicket would have put us just ahead maybe
A sixth wicket for Jimmy. SL 339-8.
Looks like the pitch is finally starting to turn, just in time for our first innings.
Going to be tricky I reckon.
Extraordinary that the spinners are yet to take a wicket. I know the pitch hasn't provided much if any turn and the quality isn't great but still, they took 15 in the last game so very disappointing from them this time out.
