Jesus! Archer is dangerous

In 30 years of watching cricket I’ve never seen a bowler hit the batsmen so much, they can’t seem to avoid his bouncers

Probably making even Harold Larwood wince! ?

Can't avoid what you can't see

No Aussie batsman will want to face Archer

3 down game on

And lest we forget, no Smith ...

Not much chance of getting into a rhythm as a bowler

And finally Root brings himself on....???‍

I think people are booing him now but he'll just think it's Rooooooooot.

Decent 50 from Loosechange after getting punched in the face at 90mph by Archer. Took balls to come back from that.

Think England will take much more positives from this draw than Australia.

That looked like it hit the ground to me but I’ll take it

 

[werty]

Don't know about that one.

 

[tototoner]

Surely they cannot win this

Some catch

Didn't look out to me even on replay but will take it

amazing, is there time for 4 more?

 

[Gb160]

why does it say 'minimum overs left' ?

 

[werty]

why does it say 'minimum overs left' ?

I think if there's a chance of a result they can play more. Who decides that, I don't know

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

why does it say 'minimum overs left' ?

If they can bowl more than the minimum number of overs left in the time allotted, they are allowed to do so.

So 15 overs in the last hour, could become 16 or 17 if they get through them quickly enough.

 

[Arnoldtoo]

@Archibald&Crooks is right. @werty is optimistic!

Only Broad isn’t on camera
