We've done it! Amazing performance by the boys they stuck together and smashed their way to 11 runs by lunch. That must be a record stint without losing a wicket for this team.
Fair play to the boys. They went in at lunch, realised the pre-lunch performance wasn't becoming of an England team and fixed it.
202 required with 7 wickets left on what has become a reasonable pitch to bat on with the sun out. It's more likely that we will fall 195 short than get them, but there's a chance. New ball and then repelling Lyon if its turning will be key.
Need Stokes to get a century to have any chance now. Warner can **** off. Has the most punchable face.
Stokes and Bairstow looking pretty solid - even playing a few shots . Get it down to 120 or so needed and who knows !
Suddenly looks very winnable.... If a wicket goes though, I hope Buttler/Woakes are able to come in and play pragmatic dull stuff...
At least they've made a match of it unlike the capitulation of the first innings and I use that word loosely!
Woakes gone now...too cheaply. Braindead shots again the downfall. Stokes running out of able partners...
27 needed. Stoke has been simply brilliant. Makes his century. Then proceeds to hit two sixes. Takes some balls!
How anyone can say Test cricket is dead is beyond me... Lyon to Stokes is some battle to finish with! Leach playing the Panesar role! 9 needed!
Heraklean effort from Stokes and Leach kept his nerve. Outstanding,simply outstanding. Always in Yorkshire!
Love the fact Paine burned their last record just minutes before he could have used it to win the match.
