England chased down 378 against India at Edgbaston last year for the loss of just 3 wickets. Convicts will chase this down handy.
England look like utter tools with their 393/8 for declaration with Root still there in imperious form. Not to mention Root well set and in again in the 40’s this morning, throwing away his wicket batting in 20/20 pyjama cricket mode
Game on Ger
How many more overs this evening?
It’s an extended session. There’s an allocated 19 left. Doubt they’ll get all that in.
78/2 Broad picks up the wicket of Labuschagne.
Broad gets Smith second time of asking.
Was first attempt out too?
Big wicket from Broady to remove Sandpaper so late in the day. 89/3
Here comes the Night Watchman
Will be a tainted victory after Moeen’s hand wiping antics
Lovely bit of sweat being applied to the ball here.
Another wicket incoming
Very nicely poised for Day 5 tomorrow. Similar to TFK over the years, the Night Watchman has kept things ticking along nicely
Rain. No play until at least 1.10.
Wow
If there’s any further delays after that, a draw looks most likely.
That was a belter of a prediction that there might be a bit of rain in Birmingham.
We’re underway now finally.
It was tbf. Had none since valentines day
There was half a day of play rained off on Sunday.
I only judge weather by GAA pitches and ours here in Birmingham is fair scalded
143-5
