    Wouldn't be surprised, (if we decide to bat the day out with 90 overs) to reach 500 +.

    Four day Test, likelihood of rain interruptions Saturday, think Stokes will want to have 10 - 15 overs at them this evening.

    It’s an interesting decision for Stokes, personally I think he’ll bat out the day but I don’t think that would be the right decision.

    Mainly on the basis of possible bad weather and we need time to actually win the game taking into account it’s only days.

    Fair dos. I must admit I know very little about their batting line up but based on their bowling we must be in with a shot of enforcing a follow on and saving time that way.

    They are supposed to be better bowlers than batters but they’ve been poor today..
    Another Curran brother is playing for them and I guess he’s their best batter

    Sky had a little piece on him. Be interesting to see how he does.

    Blessing Muzarabani is a class bowler. He did well to get three good batters out and keep his bowling average down.

    Last time I took note of him, he was O/85 and bowling poorly

    He does look good, great name as well!
    Amazing for Brian Bennet at only 21 to get his century as well.

    I'm going to predict Bennett will get 200. That'll bugger him up.
    Joking aside. (But it might work)
    But what a great innings he's having.
    Well done sir.
