Cricket

Much better from Woakes and Jofra now, but I'd get Jofra off to save him for another burst before lunch and get Broady to have a look at the left hander.

Similar pattern to last few Aus innings. We can remove most of their top order without really heavy damage but Smith is a different level. Hopefully the conditions make it harder for him, some vintage Broad could definitely cause him problems Jofra hitting his marks too.

Another cracking decision from Aleem Dar.

Another terrible onfield decision overturned on review.

Couldn’t have been more out...

Great start to our chase in Galle 76/0.
Thirimane not batting fluently but crucially staying in

NZ bowling well but we survived a session without wicket :)

Imagine writing Stuart Broad off

Just after lunch and the Aussies are less than 100 behind.
Why didn't Archer soften up Paine with a searing bouncer followed by a leg stump yorker?

Jofra clocking 96mph, Jesus Christ

Ooops

This lords crowd is embarrassing

Getting him out for less than a hundred was nice. He looked fucked when coming out though, dunno how he passed their tests and then misses one like that

Yep, rattled

Oops!

Off that run up too. 😮

How this team is so inept with the bat is beyond me

Excellent day of cricket; shame we're up against it

Will there be any play at all today, after this reasonably heavy shower?

Lashing it down here. However being covered is rather lovely

That’s fucked things

Oh poo. I was so looking forward to listening to a gripping cricket finalé, via TMS, on the beach this afternoon.

Hard knock life innit?

Stopped now and an inspection due, but feels like it's hard to force a result in our favour

88 overs. If Aus roll Eng inside 30overs for <200, it’s game on.

It will be interesting to see how Smith recovers. If Archer has put the willies up him, it could change this series.

Smith out
