@Alex and @AdamJ are at Lords, I'm a tad jealous…..

It rained… but then

the sun came out!

Gee, Archer was bowling cannonballs… Crazy how much pace he can get! Stokes was hitting some excellent shots in his second innings. Don't know how y'all feel about Steve Smith, but from an Australian, it was a shame that he got injured because I love to watch him bat (and field). That welt on his forearm was almost immediate and thank goodness the one in the neck did not seem to be serious. Worrisome, considering the damage it has the ability to cause. Now onto the third test...

Holy fuck

I know Stokes put it in a legendary performance, but that one run from Leach! - Proper Iron Heart - "It's not over till it's over!"

That was mental…. old school stuff.

Stokes… My gawsh. So much frustration with the Australian side, but one can only stand and clap at Stokes' performance. Partnership worth 76 with Leach who scored 1 run lol Smart decisions between these two blokes.

I don’t like cricket-a, oh no…

I know this space is filled with Englishmen but oh boy, Steve Smith was running a clinic… Also happy to see that Starc is back on the team and hitting some great shots!

Well done Jimmy…...
