That post worked, Ali got Smith a couple of minutes later, just before lunch then Crane , a leg spin bowler, managed to bowl a no ball that would have got a wicket on review.A spin bowler overstepping- ridiculous.

Bad luck, bad cricket, bad judgement, bad selection,bad tour.

Can we get a draw out of this? How long will they bat for? Probably have a thrash for an hour in the morning, 200 plus ahead and watch s struggle to bat out 5+ sessions.

Barmy Army been great, apparently, according to Malan, Joe sings along with them when at the non strikers end.

Had I known Joe would be captain I would have gone to Aus/NZ this year instead of last- dodged a bullet there!

When time travel is sorted,and it can't be long,I am saving up and going for the Bodyline tour,will serenade the team at the start of each day's play with the GCB,I'm sure Douglas Jardine would like it

You'd probably be banished to Australia for that if time travel could manage it.

I'd be a frequent traveller, Sir Len's 364, Illy and Boycs bringing back the Ashes, FS in his pomp against the Indians, Bluey putting 103 on for the last wicket at Derby- he got 100 of them to win a one dayer! ( and I was there)

Joe&Jonny to save the match for England,both get big tons.UTCB
