It was sarcasm aimed at Nick 'Viv' Compton. what was he thinking playing that big shot in the last over of the session.

I can't recall Chris Tavare ever playing like that in tests.

He may well have done but I would have probably been asleep by then......

Stokes survives a review
( for both caught behind and then LBW !)

That's pisspoor from Root. If Hales had played that shot to get out it would be used as evidence that he's not up to Test cricket.

looks like England pushing India close to the tile of the most busiest year, although reckon India will always edge it if you include IPL/Odi.

England scheduled to play 17 test this year.

3 South africa
3 Sri lanka
4 pakistan
2 bangladesh
5 india

17 test although ban is questionable and india is either 4 or 5.

although India only playing 14 test from January to January.
Nick hault saying 16 matches look like one of ban/india test going.
India journo suggesting 5 test matches still.

Great day's cricket enjoyed that, pleased for Hales that 60 will do him the world of good
Stokes just get's better and better love watching him bat just brute force and strength
450 tomorrow then put them under pressure with the ball

Well Englande ahead, but still an interesting session with our lower order being so mercurial, could smash a 100 quick runs, or get out playing silly buggers.

Tremendous partnership between Stokes and Bairstow put England back on top

You'd think that our bowling attack is better than theirs so whatever we get I reckon we should expect a 100 run first innings lead

I mean.......if it's a 450 pitch for us against their bowlers it should be a 350 pitch for them against ours !

Good to see the West Indies showing some fight in between the showers in Sydney

207/6 at the close with Carlos Braithwaite hitting a 6 and a 4 in the last over
