Cricket 2018

What was I just saying? Brilliant from Stokes, bye bye de Kock (almost commentators curse)

[1964white]

Kock gone now & another one gone

Brilliant from Stokes

52 for 4

Boycott said about one of the dismissals " my mother could of hit that with a stick of rhubarb "
Why did blowers my dear old thing ,or half a heed aggers not say Geoffrey STFU

Geoffrey often refers to his mum, she must be good

England were struggling to get a wicket then Roland-Jones comes on & takes two wickets in two balls, hat-trick on the cards....

And now they have taken drinks

Ooh ! Thick edge into the slips....unfortunately not to be

[whiteswan]

Just back from walking houndie for 2.5 hours so just switched on. England are probably going to have to be patient.

[1964white]

Moheen grabs a wicket just before lunch

205 for 7

[1964white]

Moheen sees off Elgar for 136 then grabs another wicket with the next ball. Two fine catches from Ben Stokes

Last man in

[whiteswan]

Would be nice for Moeen to get his hat trick

[1964white]

What a finish

Moheen takes a hat-trick on a review, lbw decision correct & wins the match for England

Ali is ecstatic

Fascinating cricket

[1964white]

Would be nice for Moeen to get his hat trick

Brilliant he did Swan, fantastic cricket

MOTM - Ben Stokes for me but Roland-Jones comes close

[whiteswan]

Excellent stuff 64, I'm really pleased for Ali but also for Joe Root. He had a big decision to make yesterday, stuck to his guns and made the right call. Good lad!

[whiteswan]

MOTM - Ben Stokes for me but Roland-Jones comes close

Stokes for me as well, he is so good to watch, closely followed by Toby and Moeen

[1964white]

Half-centuries for Root & Stokes once again in the Fourth Test v SA

Hopefully Jonny converts a 50 tomorrow

[whiteswan]

Disappointing to loose Stokes so late in the day (last over?). He and Jonny could have had a big knock tomorrow morning. Not so sure now, hopefully Moeen can steady the ship....hopefully he and Jonny can put on a hundred
Joe reached his 5000th test runs today...well done Rooty

[1964white]

Jonny makes it look so easy

Unfortunately one short of a century, out for a brilliant 99 from Bairstow :clap2:

Just for the noisy Old Trafford crowd, always plenty of atmosphere when England come north

:scarf1: Yorkshire Yorkshire Yorkshire :scarf2:

[Haighy]

Well done England.
Yorkshire...abysmal.
Real threat of relegation now !!

[1964white]

Yes a cracking win for England

As for Yorkshire we are dropping like a stone, we are now staring relegation in the face as the four counties below us have two matches in hand of us.

We've never recovered from the loss of Jason Gillespie

First day/night test in England starts this afternoon . What do we think?

Being a traditionalist I don't care for all the changes generally in sport

What it does give is an opportunity for fans in the local area who are working for much of the day to go watch test cricket in the evenings
