Prince Buster - One Step Beyond

Joan Armatrading - Drop The Pilot

While I wholeheartedly agree with your general sentiment I think you are stretching it to suggest that Stokes wouldn’t get in as well. With one or two other borderline choices. Carey has had a good series behind the stumps notwithstanding his cheating today, but I think if Foakes were an Aussie he would be in their side too (I know we didn’t pick him but we should have).

That will be that now surely?

I think we can all credit Dreams for this - he has a track record of seeing amazing days of test cricket

This from the BBC. ”There are members in the Long Room so enraged that they've reverted from a Windsor knot into a much more aggressive half Windsor.” 😂😂😂

Paul Weller - Dust and Rocks

This is the best entertainment I’ve seen in ages! Whether or not we win from here that 40 minutes before lunch and the reaction of the Long Room and Lords crowd was fucking brilliant. If you can make first session Lords sound like evening session Hollies you’ve obviously done something pretty fucking bad 😂

Well I think that will be that then, unless Stokes can repeat the Miracle of Headingley. PS - I wonder what loud mouth McGrath has to say about that Bairstow dismissal!

Duckett has done his job well in this match. No criticism of him from me at all.

Buddy Holly - True Love Ways

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall

Johnny Nash - Tears On My Pillow

The Style Council - The Whole Point Of No Return

I would agree with this. He’s been an absolute superstar for England but time has caught up with him at last.

Glenn McGrath’s reaction to it on TMS is priceless and genuinely has me laughing my head off here!

You have to laugh. You couldn’t really script that sort of ending to the day!

Indeed. We need another innings like 2019 from him tomorrow and Duckett to stick around until after lunch. I might start to believe then 😂

It was the ball before that set Root up though. Outdone.

Exactly right Gav. Bazball or not some of these are just unplayable.

Stick to footie mate 😂😉

Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)

That delivery to Pope was unplayable.

Four surely Chaddy? (Starc, Cummins, Hazlewood and Green?) Edit: and Head is no mug either

Yeah it does but 4 sessions to get them means we can afford to bat a bit more sensibly. Whether we will remains to be seen. I can just see us falling 15 short and Lyons’ little cameo winning the game for them!
