    I bet Lees is feeling pretty down about this but nothing like Crawley will. There can't be anything worse than getting a duck only to have to then sit and watch for two days the rest of the team rack up runs on what is a road with speed restrictions imposed

    Are we batting for a declaration, as the wickets of Bairstow and Stokes did seem quite soft?

    Unbelievable morning!
    Really? Maybe if you're there. Unbelievably flat pitch, tired bowlers, bored Stokes - a recipe for some bullying. Not the sort of Test cricket I'm into, sorry. No contest, no edge. England will do well to get 20 wickets 
    You prefer us to be skittled for 180?
    There's a happy medium
    Doris Stokes? no relation to Ben, I might add

    Well they are trying to get as many runs as possible in the shortest time possible. Get 480 & we shouldnt lose.

    In practice though, the established Stokes and Bairstow going at 75% would score runs a lot more quickly than 2 new batsmen

    Erm. @Pelling1993  aka ‘Powelly’ has gained a block of followers (fans) and is now having a pint sing off with ‘The Queen’ 2 blocks along.

    Mahmood doesn't get the chance to bat on his debut!

    And Mahmood still hasn't had a bowl, with Leach handed the ball before him

    Leach should enjoy himself today. One benefit of him playing at Taunton, is that he's used to exploiting favourable conditions

    A good start. A lovely breeze and lots of cloud. 

    Great catch by Woakes. 

    (No sign of @Pelling1993 as yet - or The Queen)

    I’m here don’t you worry! I’ve felt better I must admit 😂

    Stokes does an anti Broad by not reviewing an LBW he should have!

    Oh and did you all pick up Barbados sims for your phones?  Sky Mobile roaming charges are ridiculous.

    I’ve been in the Greenwich and Haynes stand. You get the sun until about 12:30 and then it goes behind the stand which is ideal. You might get to meet Powelly too 😉

    If there's a Greenwich and Hayes stand, is there a Lewisham and Petts Wood stand as well?

    (It’s greenidge and Haynes tbf but I’ve had too much rum to auto correct)

    A great start to the day, but been fairly average overall. A big match for him, 500 runs on the board so  excuse for not attacking
  • This current England squad is incapable of taking 20 wickets.
