Woakes has a hundred at Lords too I think ?

The stat was Batman's coming in as 8 or lower so tailender. Woakes was in at 7 that day so in effect the all rounder.

….last wicket stand of 70 and counting for Hants, Lancs continue to struggle.

I was there today and the days play was worth every penny. Because of the poor weather forecast I was hesitant about going despite having a ticket.

That's 15 wins, 2 draws and just the 1 loss in Manchester in it's last 18 Test matches. I did see on social media more calls for it's removal as a Test venue during the delayed 2nd day because of it's a little bit unfair rep for rain but why get rid of a venue we have such a great record at?

It's pretty understated what a fantastic ground Old Trafford is for the England team.

Be interested to know the win, draw and loss comparison with Lords. We seem to lose a lot there.

Rehan Ahmed's younger brother Farhan (16) has taken 7-140 for Notts v Surrey.

Not going to make a difference to the match but that sort of 50 50 decision should not be getting overturned. I think he probably did get bat on it but it's far from clear.

Go ahead Gus, maiden test ton.

…Lancs all out for 200 and following-on against Hants.

Reiffel has just given LBW in one of the worst decisions I can remember seeing. Got overturned by DRS.

Joe Root is joint sixth for Centuries in test cricket. And is only 24 runs away from overtaking Sangakkara and 96 runs from overtaking Cook into the 5th highest run scorer of all time.

He could eclipse Tendulkar if the gives it another 3-5 years, but it's a big ask.
Where is the guy on here who called him nothing more than bang average.
