It's enough to piss off the pope. They've got zero control over the match. Not even a single run penalty.

Both teams are guilty of this, and I don't really see the point. Also, wtf is it with all the ball changes? Never used to have that.

Joe Root could pass a couple of legends in this innings.

Unless he wants the legends to keep their records that is.

Didn't think the effect would be that pronounced, or that the ball could get chewed up that quickly. Spot-on, of course.

4 down at stumps. That was a thoroughly entertaining 3rd session. I'm not a fan of Stokes', but that was a lovely spell. Game well poised.

Faced 54 deliveries, pretty good for a tailender.. The issue was his top order not his handling of the pressure.
