I think they were saying on TMS that it may have happened with two other batsmen, can't remember the names.

Pleased I went to the first day of thin gruel rather than yesterday!

I'm not sure it can have looking at the records. Only nine have done it more than once in their career (Botham, Sehwag, Gayle, Gilchrist, Warner, Afridi, McCullum, Kapil Dev) as far as I can work out and only IT Botham twice in the same series.

So England make a mockery of another run chase...113 in 15.2 overs today to get home. Over the course of the match NZ got their runs in 220ish overs, England took 100 overs less! Could be interesting again India next week!

Bazzball might make this chase an interesting one

Will be a better watch that our old approach of trying to bat for a draw and being skittled for 120!

[valemadness]

Impressive Baistow 4th 100 in 5 innings 👏👏

[azul]

So the new approach backfired - no surprise there

If England loose this series, county cricket will need urgent reorganisation and the threat to the likes of Derbyshire will be a accelerated again

[Westbars Spireite]

Baz-b*llocks.

[satnav]

You can't play Bazzball when you have got no decent openers and you only bat down to 7.

Enjoyed watching Root and Brook batting

So 10 out of 11 wins later under stokes and Brendon McCullum it’s probably going ok compared to some of the posts on here presumably after that one we lost….

Did you notice, they held the bat the right way round 😆

It reminded me of hitting certain bowlers for six, you might know a few

After due thought and consideration, no, I don't

A mate of mine was moaning that the women shouldn't be able to play for 'The Women's Ashes' since there is only one pile of ash, apparently.
I suggested they call it The Gashes instead.

Stokes really does have a massive love length.

[CFC91]

This has been wild

[JonB]

It’s some effort to make lords like this….

[Mr Mercury]

Totally engrossing

[Johnnyspireite7]

80 needed and Stokes is at it again, just needs Broad to hang with him.

[Doreets]

Unlucky that, amazing innings
