VERY unusual .. one spinner takes 7 wickets and one fielder (not the w/k) takes 5 catches
Very unusual that their spinner takes virtually all their wickets yet our quicks take all their 10. Are the teams playing on the same pitch......or are our spinners just crap.
If there was a crime in cricket worth shooting a player for, it has to be the spinner that bowls a front foot no ball. Most can land a ball on a pound coin from 24 yards let alone having to do so from 22 so why do they feel they need to push it so close?

I'm not expecting our openers to hang around for long.
crawley out for 13 embuldeniya got one to turn funnily enough
We're going at exactly the right tempo and hopefully will get this all done and dusted today.
And that's two that he has missed spinning into his legs since I posted this 5 minutes ago - both "Umpires Call"
On the upside, we're over a quarter if the way there with Root still to bat.
