Yaarkshire’s day 25 ahead with 5 wickets in hand but Somerset are not out of it. Need to bowl them out for as few as possible in the morning.

Should be quite a day at the Oval...

 

[Trapdoor]

Pitch is a road now, weather forecast is looking good so probably wont swing much. There was a bit of turn happening for Jedeja yesterday but after the solid start from Hameed & Burns I think we should be able to chase this down.

 

[Spanks]

If England intend to chase this down, Bairstow needs to come in next, imho.

 

[Grecian2K]

Malan getting run out for just 5 (especially after taking 58 balls to grind those runs out) seems borderline criminal to me in the context of the game.

Was he the victim of a "wrong call"?...or merely a careless whisper?

 

[Trapdoor]

It was a poor call from Hameed but he seemed a bit on his heels, as if he knew he was never making it.

The customary collapse is now under way

100-0 becomes 146-5.

55 overs to see out now. The win has gone.

And probably the draw too ! Becoming a bad day all round with Somerset unable to finish off the Tykes first innings

That is absolutely unacceptable from Pope Bairstow and Ali. Shockingly poor.

Bairstow trades in ducks.

We need a curmudgeonly defensive innings of some length from Craig Overton now.
