Really? I didnāt know. I think thereās also a lovely canal walk. Would it be the Royal Canal there?
5/437.
Cummins knocks Stokesā stumps over. 51 for Stokes.
A bit of slogging now for 45 minutes or so Iād imagine. Get past 500 runs and a lead of around 200, then 20 minutes at them before lunch.
6/474. Brook top edges one to the boundary, gone for 61.
The lead is now 157.
7/486.
Woakes gone for a first ball duck. Hazlewood has the second new ball moving a bit.
Mark Wood will have a slog now.
506/8 at lunch.
Wood out last ball before lunch after Hazelwood had gone for 15 in the first 5 balls of the over.
8/506.
Wood bowled in the last ball before lunch after 15 runs came from the first 5 balls.
England will be encouraged by the movement with the new ball.
To be fair to @ChairmanDan Iām fairly sure he won an All-Ireland B hurling medal with the Carlow hurlers in 1992 so you canāt question his sporting heritage either.

Bairstow enjoying himself here.
Anderson joining in. Down the pitch to Cummins & smashed for 4.
562/9
Bairstow moves to 80 with another 6.
And another 6 to 568/9
More clownish pyjama cricket from the Poms. Boycott wonāt like this one bit . 9/573
England should have declared long ago but their bravado in keeping themselves batting will be their downfall
This is savage by Bairstow.
Up to 98* now.
Heās actually broken Cummins mentally here. If heās not being creamed for 4s & 6s, heās spraying the ball down the leg side for 4 byes.
Anderson out lbw with Bairstow on 99ā¦England review.
