dont want to curse him, but i really like the cut of lees' jib. Positive, big lad, left handed opening batter... reminds me of a certain marcus trescothick...
KP orgasming over crawley... I always thought crawley looked a bit like a more orthodox KP with his height. He gives you glimmers of the guy who got the double ton vs pakistan.
Stokes and his Brave New England in this game crossed over from being aggressive and adventurous into recklessness in their first innings
in the second. Lees and (especially) Crawley are mixing patience and watchfulness with aggression .. great to see and let's hope Crawley has at last come to terms with the requirements needed to become a top class test opener
every so often zak crawley looks like a test opening batsman, that cover drive was another example.
Lees getting off to a flyer has really helped him today. He can play within himself until he's in
There has been lots of talk about BMac and Stokes playing attacking cricket. I actually think thats the wrong word and we should be talking about aggressive cricket. Crawley has left very aggressively today and has punished anything too straight at him. Perfect example of this.

378 looks a very long way away
It's more likely to be over today than a draw.
YJB must be wondering what's going on, he is normally in by now......
