Fucking Harris.

Two drops now.

He obviously doesn’t like golf and wants to spend more time playing cricket. It’s the only explanation.

Bounce going a bit haywire. Crawley not reading it.

Yeah not too bad though now they have showed the comparative to previous ball. It was the line that got him.

God I love test cricket!!

@hooroo Crawley followed up nicely with defence then attack.

England really do pick guys on potential rather than track record and hope for the best. Aside from one huge double ton Crawley has done fuck all to show anything thus far. Perhaps today is his day.

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

[Hooroo]

ON FIRE!!

Not a great shot but fuck who could play on that sort of seam movement.

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

Test cricket is a doddle for him at the moment

How good is Green in the slips.

As the comms said "you've got 4, 5 and 6th slip""

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

[Hooroo]

and another for Boland!

0 runs, three maidens and two wickets!

EASY!

[MN5]

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

How much energy would he be getting from that crowd when he finishes each over!!!
