Cricket (part dix)

The declaration is 'interesting' to say the least and what could be a significant drop by Jennings.
Stokes has made it clear he'd prefer to lose trying to win rather than draw avoiding defeat! That approach makes any score England get often irrelevant to the final result raising the question should the opposition approach the match on the basis of 'just staying the game because Stokesy will open the door for us at some point'!
I'm not sure that approach will help my blood pressure in the Ashes!

Can’t help agreeing entirely with that last sentence.
I’d have preferred another 30-40 runs today with another hour taken out of the game...but it’s just possible ‘Ben and Baz’ might know more than me.
