Well played Zac, he survived the first 20 overs+.
As far as I'm concerned that's should be an opening batsman's first target.4 -
Well done Zak. Let's hope he can keep it going in the morning.2

who'd'a thought that Crawley would turn out to be the new Boycott ? well done Zak, the penny might have dropped that in 5 day games there is no need to hit every ball outta sight from the off0

Add horse whipping if you're a spinner.MrOneLung said:killerandflash said:FFS Robinson.
No balls should be 10 runs to opponents and a 30 minute ban from bowling.Addick Addict said:No sympathy whatsoeverAbsolutely no need for it at all.2 -
Remember watching an interview with Boycott years ago and he said he batted in 10's. His first target was 10 and he didn't care if it took 2 balls or 30 balls to get there.Lincsaddick said:who'd'a thought that Crawley would turn out to be the new Boycott ? well done Zak, the penny might have dropped that in 5 day games there is no need to hit every ball outta sight from the off
When reached he would reset and his next target was 20 and so on. As long as he kept his wicket he didn't give a monkeys how long it took.2 -

Now Zak is out. Excellent bowling0

Both of the wicket taking balls this morning would get most of the top batsmen in test cricket out.4

Crawley did well to survive that long but he earned the right to do so by the way he played last night. In the end, he was beaten by one of those balls that has your name on it. It is something to build on and it is interesting that he has changed (and clearly been told to) to not go so hard at the ball early on.6

Hard to be critical this morning. Not seen reverse swing like this in a long long time.mid_life_crisis said:Both of the wicket taking balls this morning would get most of the top batsmen in test cricket out.
Need to cling on and scramble to 250 if we can0 -
It's been just normal batting this morning. Stokes is still being positive, but without the recklessness we've seen in the other Tests7

212-5 at lunch and a good position to be in0

And well done to Crawley. I would have dropped him but he's dug in and shown some real application.4

Amazing isn't it.
We asked the bowlers to bowl at the stumps and bowled them out for 151.
The batsmen have batted like Test batsmen and we're 219-5.
We are now reaping the benefit of having half the wickets left instead of being all out by 62 overs.3 -
Proper test cricket this. Great to watch2

Today feels like the complete opposite of Bazball2

Well pleased for Foakes.
He deserves that 50.1 -
An hour ago Stokes was 38 and Foakes 41.
Now Stokes 88 and Foakes 51.0 -
Such a relief as McCullum and Stokes told us we wouldn't be playing/batting Test cricket.kinveachyaddick said:Proper test cricket this. Great to watch2 -

We have rarely had the opportunity to take full advantage of an old ball in recent years, because we've recklessly been all out way too early.1 -
you never know @Leuth , you may just be right....Leuth said:Maharaj and Harmer at OT second innings will be close to unplayable for anyone in our side not named Joe Root. I dare say England's challenge is to ensure it doesn't get to a second innings. Which sounds preposterous given how the first Test went

Stokes 100 no.0

This is where Bazball should come into play. We have a solid lead, 2 set batsmen against 2 spinners not performing a 3 tired quicks. We should use this evening session to really put their bowlers to the sword and bring up a big lead.0

Just keep batting and demoralise them.0
