Ashes Test # 2 (Lords)

[Altobelli]

Sheilas 194 for 6, Smith still there on 75 with Cummins 9, still trail by 64, not enough time for a result now.

[Altobelli]

Smith retired hurt getting an Archer delivery on the side of the neck, already being hit on the forearm which needed attention also.

[Altobelli]

Sheilas innings ends 8 short of England, England 9 for 2 with Roy and Root (duck) gone, if we bat like this the Sheilas will be given the game, hattrick ball for Cummins against Denly.. . . . . . . comes to nowt.

[Altobelli]

England 74 for 4, Butler 3 and Stokes 6 in the middle, 82 ahead.

[Altobelli]

Day Finished with England 96 for 4, ahead by 104 runs.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

At least we now know how to get shut of Smith!

[Altobelli]

Match drawn, I thought at the time Root waited too long to declare, to worried of loosing the game the yarkshur wimp.
