The Ashes 2023

England have to play the situation with the bat here. They've found themselves ahead in the match after a fantastic session of bowling. Green Headingly pitch with a new ball, there is absolutely no need to go on the charge for quick runs. Consolidate the position of ascendency rather than throw it away as they have had a habit of doing.

 

[Ivo]

Have we declared yet?

 

[moggeridge]

Not sure if mentioned here but they were saying on TMS that during that Marsh ton, Wood only bowled 3 overs. When you’ve got a strike bowler who’s looked as up for it as he has you’d surely be turning to him more

 

[maccavennie]

Wasn't even a decent delivery that. Such a poor shot from Duckett.

 

[MichaelEFC96]

That's poor from Duckett

 

[jazzy]

This should be fun .

It will be a bumper barrage and Brook can't help himself.

I just don't trust the likes of Crawley, Duckett, Brook to hang around and dig in which then just puts huge pressure on Root

The way they all play is very high risk.
If it comes off , with this outfield, England will get a lot of runs very quickly.
But , if it doesn't, then as you say Root is exposed very early .
Hold on to your hats

 

[jazzy]

Well Harry didn't hang around long.

 

[roydo]

Sake. Root better not muck about.

 

[maccavennie]

Absolutely inevitable.

Like a rabbit in headlights

 

[Connor]

You are crap, Harry

 

[neil999]

Dear oh dear

 

[maccavennie]

Going to need a big innings here from Root and for Crawley to dig in and last the rest of the session.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Stay quiet everyone.
