Progressing slowly to a draw here, Crawley gets his 50 and survives another review,Oh forgot!!! Rooooot gets his 50 as well...... but even with the odd ball ' deviation ' WI are getting what England went through this time on D3, not a lot..Test Cricket for the purist.where' s Geoffrey? .... Dreamland 🏏🏏🏏😊

Joe is closing in on a 50 batting average, that is special, his top score is 254, he's taken 149 catches and 44 wickets. |

If he hadn`t been burdened with the captaincy, and pretty much forced to come in first wicket down, I reckon his average would already have been over 50. |

You've just got to love watching Dan Lawrence bowl. He's like a human windmill! A bit like Paul ( frog in a blender ) Adams. South African spinner. It`s a wonder his rotator cuff didn`t rupture, every time he delivered the ball. |

It`s a wonder his rotator cuff didn`t rupture, every time he delivered the ball. Lawrence defies all known body, arm and leg movements when he bowls. I'm pretty sure there are some laws around Physics that would also baffle Einstein if he were still alive. I just smile watching it. I think it's fantastic  |
