The summer of Test cricket thread

Jamie Smith taking this away from the Sri Lankans atm

Batting very well 220/250 even and the Lankys will struggle to get near it.

What was Smith thinking there, last ball before lunch ffs

Tremendous innings from Smith - brainless bowling from Sri Lanka after taking the 7th wicket - but WTF was Smith thinking last ball before tea?

Olly Pope doing really well with DRS - 0/10

Can't see them losing this test.

Batting on a 3rd day wicket, and a 4th day to win it.

Olly Pope looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights as captain.

That’s a little bit of a reality check for Bazball. If they approach an India or Australia game like that then it will be over in two and a half days.

That’s fućking mental.

Hey kids, let’s go to Lords and watch the India test. It’s £300 for our tickets, we’ll all have a hog roast lunch at 15 quid each, I’ll have a few beers and you can have whatever you want to drink. If you’re still hungry around tea we’ll grab a hot dog. We’ll catch the train in as I can have a beer. It should all come in for less than £500. I hope it stays dry.

Blimey! I watched the opening ten overs or so and it was a bit slow paced, it clearly went boom quite quickly thereafter.

There's something about watching cricket in England at this time of the year, basically winter
Boiling up to be a great finish...
