I'm not a cricket fan but I have an ear glued to Test Match Special on the radio. Fascinating and exciting if a little confusing. 🙃😁

Absolutely fantastic innings, bet you're happy with that, still calling for his head?

Would've had a little more chance if they'd played fair. Never mind, onto the next.

Does that include the fact there are still two players in the Australian side that were once banned for cheating!
Gutted for England and least they got well beyond lunch.
People there will always say 'I was there on THAT day'.

Less than 100 hours till Headingley and the crowd there won't be as forgiving as Lords was today.
