Fantastic ton! 17:05 - May 24 with 2336 viewsD_Alien

By Stokes in 86 balls - transformed the game after good work by Cook & Root

The future's bright... the future's ginger!


Edit: fastest ever test ton at Lord's - wow!

Stick or twist?

I'd like to think that England make a real go of trying to win the test match today. If it becomes "must not lose" and we try and plod our way to lunch, eating the overs up, the momentum of Stokes and the last four days will be damaged.

Reckon if that's our plan and they get us out quickly today (batsmen 9, 10 and 11 aren't offering much right now), then that gives massive confidence to the Kiwis.

For me, it's half an hour this morning, playing a few golf shots, and offer them a challenging but not impossible total . More likely to pick a few wickets up if the opposition are trying to score runs.

Cook going early should help. Great innings by him, but he's opened the door now to an early end to the innings. A lead of 350 would be perfect. McCullum won't baulk at that and the conditions should help the seamers.

Still can't believe Stokes innings yesterday. The highlights showed a young Asian girl shedding a tear when it was announced he'd scored the fastest ton at Lords!

Fair play, when’s the next one going to fall?

Seems like a new coach about to be appointed as well (reported by Tazzy by the look of it):



Trevor Bayliss to be England coach?
Daily Telegraph's Nick Hoult: "When you start talking to people in Australia, you realise this is pretty far advanced.

"I understand that he was initially lukewarm to the offer but he was contacted again over the week and offered an contract he couldn't refuse."

I wouldn't want anyone taking the job just for the money - especially not an Aussie

Grave doubts about any Aussie taking charge for an Ashes series - not because I think they'd be biased but simply because of the unnecessary pressure they'd be under, from down under.

If we're successful against NZ (and the signs are good) I'd leave Farbrace in place for the duration of the summer, then see where we stand.

Fantastic way to finish!

What a test match, and what an advert for the 5-day format, going right up to the wire.

An historic one too - the record set for the most runs scored when all 40 wickets have fallen.

Well done England, everyone played their part but MoM gotta be Ben Stokes

Unbelievable catch, unbelievable performance (post first session) to win a great test match.

If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor
