@hooroo Crawley followed up nicely with defence then attack.

Fully!! That was top draw!

And for me that separates him and Hameed from Rory Burns: their setup is better. They are still and measured at the wicket. No, Hameed hasn't always made great decisions but I thought the 25 he made in Brisbane was better than Burns' single performance later on.

Few more sprinkles around

ON FIRE!!

Well, 18 is one of the better scores he’s got recently I guess.

Another one. 2 for zip. Root's patience has deserted him

Extras looking strong for second to top score in this innings. Been a pretty consistent year.

Some time earlier in the series, the commentators announced that, at one anthem singing, there were 11 England players and 22 back room staff including a couple of subs.

What the fuck are all those people doing?
