Fair play to Zimbabwe, made a decent fist of things with the bat. They’ll still probably lose by an innings but they haven’t been humiliated.

Cardiff nowhere near sold out for this game.

What a legend Joe Root is.

Ooo! Another quick wicket and this could get tasty...

If they’d brought Joseph back five overs earlier they’d have won this.

Agreed

Fair play, though, when you have Mr. Reliable Rashid coming in at number 8, you're on steady ground.

And I had a little wager on England to win at 2-1 when they were 150odd for five. Tidy.

Minted.

Minted.

I’m too tight to bet enough to win much.
