That has to be one of the best test matches that I've ever seen, and yet another reminder that it's the best form of the game.

Oh cheers, Tango. Had to listen to it only through some key wickets as I was driving home from Derbyshire. :oyea:

Great cricket that was. Some top notch everything. Those two catches of Ali's were far harder then they looked. Excellent atmosphere. Stokes is a new star, but the team prformance was pretty good all round.

No play for at least an hour and a half at Headingly. Forecast says the rain is moving east and should pass.

Sixteen raindrops, a couple of hokey-cokey dances with the covers and rain stops play. Oh, not before Jimmy gets Guptil caught by Bell with just 2 on the board. :D
