    Steve Smith chooses to take a run off the first ball of the next Stokes over
    Richardson manages to survive the five resulting deliveries
    Smith does the same thing in the next Carse over too
    Richardson takes another 7 off that over with a couple of nice strokes… wicket flattening out just in time :-)

    England may only have 9 wickets to play with here, depending on how Atkinson is doing. At best I imagine he’d come out at 11 if there’s minimal runs left to get.

    Might be able to hobble out with a hammy - may not have much time to recover from it though!

    Starc drops a caught and bowled - would’ve been a very good catch

    Crawley’s hit a six and a four of the first two balls of Neser’s second over.

    They are trying to get as many runs as possible before the effects of the heavy roller wears off

    I guess it’s entertaining but it’s not test cricket - the batting throughout this game, bad pitch or not, has been shocking & it’s fitting that the game is ending like a village cricket slog out

    Utter madness. Instructions from a management team that know the game is clearly up.and they fancy going out with a bit of a bang before the hammer falls.

    I suspect Key will be relieved of his duties shortly after landing at Heathrow
     They'll offer McCullum a chance to stay but he'll stick two fingers up because his mate Key has been given the push and no other director of Cricket would put up with his madness.
    Stokes is a bit of an unknown. Can still see him calling it a day.
