Meanwhile Aus r thrashing Eng at Headingley
Better start doing the old rain dance..
Lol
I take it all back!
They might as well give Ben Stokes the trophy now!
The most exciting half an hour of Test Cricket I think I have ever experienced!
Hi buttercup...... never in doubt
though i was watching through my fingers. Looking forward to travelling to Manchester now we have something to play for. Sports Personality of the Year ' Ben Stokes ! '
Hope you're doing ok
As someone who hails from 20 miles from Old Trafford, I just hope it doesn't rain - we wanna win not have another draw!
Eng have an uphill struggle on their hands now that Steve Smith's been the proverbial run machine n Stokes is poss injured. Good job it's only day one. Hope rain holds off...
After day two .......pray for rain ! Stokes has apparently got a shoulder niggle. Jofra ? He didn't seem happy yesterday. Your right Steve Smith 'the wasp slayer' annoyingly is a run machine. We can only dream of England scoring 500 runs. He must have a weakness somewhere, he has such a talent why he felt the need to cheat I do not know. We travelled to Australia 2009 for the Ashes, the Glory days now a distant memory. Need another Strauss and Cookie.
Weather was a bit chilly for us Southerners but we layered up. Travelling back home today.
I am trying to think positively ..... we can't lose what we never had.
Take care x
Well, it's still wet up in Manchester - match delayed by a wet outfield. Who knew I'd b glad if the day got rained off lol?;
Buttercup01 am relying on you to keep doing the rain dance preferably to cover 72 hours.
Just got back home to see we're now two down. Having a rest watching from the sofa and then going to Sussex V Worcester The Blast quarter finals tonight. It is a bit damp here in Sussex but looks dry later
Don't let me down
