[Luke93]

Yes he's out... wasted review too...

194-5 (53.5)

72-5 with Ali and Woakes on a pair as well.... looking grim

Umpire’s call. Is the review not retained?

Yes indeed... but it was always going to be out. Played and missed twice outside off, next ball nipped back and he was undone.

 

[studio150]

Bairstow two symmetrical innings 6 balls 0 runs in each

Well that's him tuned up nicely for the Ashes

 

[Titanic]

Tea, Day Two

England 209-5 (57 overs), leading by just 87 runs with 5 2nd innings wickets in hand.

Root 12* Ali 7*

41 overs remaining today, a lot of cricket to be played.

 

[BensGrandad]

We need a big partnership with Root and Moeen but I wont hold my breath.

JB has had a pretty thin time with the red ball in the last year or so. His 'keeping is rusty. Is he more pencilled than inked in for the 1st Test? Apparently he mode of dismissal feature quite a high proportion of bowled too. A pair against Ireland is pretty poor. (Moeen's just out - and he's hardly pulling up any trees these days too.)

Moeen Ali is a goner... poor shot

Short ball from Rankin... fended it to the keeper

MM Ali c †Wilson b Rankin 9 (20b 1x4 0x6)

219-6, leading by just 97 runs... right under the pump.

219/6 not looking good for next week

Rain forecast for tomorrow morning and all day Saturday - we might get out of this hole yet with a draw.

Textbook from Ali

He's actually rubbish these days isn't he..............

 

[Titanic]

Root gone.. England in deep trouble at 239-7, leading by just 117, with 32 overs remaining today

65.2 W Adair to Root, OUT, Root comes down, drives on the up - BRILLIANT TAKE FROM WILSON! Big outside edge and it was heading for slip but Wilson threw himself across and took charge of it himself!

JE Root c †Wilson b Adair 32 (64b 3x4 0x6)

 

[studio150]

Root gone

 

[Simster]

So England go from 171/1 to 239/7.

Against IRELAND.


Some things never change.

It's ONLY Ireland, so complacency takes over. Very poor.............not looking good for the Ashes
