    christ, tale the 2 fours then see out the over FFS, no need to even play it.  Madness.

    There was literally no need. Just knock the ball about. Rotate the strike. He nearly holed out the four before. Should have realised then that he needed to calm down

    Wtf...???  Its not a one day game with limited overs. We even have tomorrow if needs be. Just BLOCK

    Ben Stokes told him too block the last ball.
    This reminds me of the round Robin game against the Aussies when Stokes ran out of Partners in that WC match at Lord's.
    Or was he last man out ?

    Game. Really needed more from Woakes or Buttler.

    Sigh. We were doing so well. 2 moments of madness has cost us in this innings (bairstow and the the run out). Completely shifted the momentum of the match

    Been a much better effort than anyone expected, but ultimately we lost this in our first innings.

    Would've probably won the last test but for rain, and would've won this but for that shambolic first innings. Just scoring a pathetic 150 in the 1st innings would've been enough.

    We could be 2-1 up but now we're 2-0 down.

    To think that we only needed a total of 107 in the first innings to win the game makes things 10 times more painful than they should be

    Why 107?

    Stokes is simply a ridiculous player. Pietersen levels of talent.

    If only we still had a couple more batsman left. Why did Archer go for the big 'un  ??

    If only Buttler hadn't got run out.

    Brave taking a single off the second and leaving Leach to face 4 balls

    Archer was a little bit unlucky.  The shot he got out to was a pretty good sweep shot, aimed at keeping it down; it just caught a leading edge and flew.  Unlike the other two swings, he didn't mean to hit it in the air.  In context, it wasn't the worst shot he played that over!

    It wasn't deliberate!

    Leach is very good for a number 11, as he showed against Ireland he can defend well

    Because that was what it was when I posted - 80 now. And that makes it even more ridiculous that we will probably lose.

    However, if you keep asking and I keep replying then this might happen:

    Still 130 needed. Not getting carried away yet, always wary of quick wickets with this middle order.

    And Lyon is looking ominous too...
    That's our problem. 235/4 could easily turn into 245/7
    And 359-9 ;-)

    In this situation Stokes blows smith away. Has to go big, has to keep the strike. 

    Its genius cricket.

    If Stokes wins this match for England his innings will be talked about in the same way that Bothams was all those years ago.

    Against the second best test batsmen of all time ?.... do me a favour.  He ran out Butler.

    I can't remember a better 0 not out in ten balls than Leach, too...

    Leach is exactly what we need at the other end, a blocker rather than a slogger

    I’m not saying he’s better in tests format . This is a one day game now. It’s Stokes vs Australia.

    what an effort this is by Stokes, can we really do it!
  • Laddick01Laddick01
    This is the greatest innings I’ve ever seen.

    For The Ashes.  On a four day old pitch.  With no fielding restrictions and over 100 overs....??

    Right.....
