That Latham hoik must indicate we're setting a target...I hope

That is also why umpires call is bullshit.

Untill it works for us

At least we don't lose a review i guess

I really didn't put that well. If we use tech, we use it. Out is out. Whatever the umpire has said I don't think is as accurate as the tech.

Looks we are thinking about having a go at this

[Siam]

@snowy you mean just dispense with the margin of error consideration? Fair enough. Would that mean tv review of every decision though? Again, no argument from me but it'd take time

[Siam]

@voodoo bat for one session, use 2 to roll them i guess

Yes to the reviews from teams or umps. Not every decision.

Also yes to the game position.

[Siam]

@snowy we'd have to review every single appeal though wouldn't we?

Sub continent.....?

Will be fun whatever the result!

Set them 300+ to win. Lots more cloud today so the ball will swing.

Possibility of rain and dodgy light this afternoon that might come to England's rescue:

I edited that for clarity. Not every decision. Just the reviews.

[Damo]

England's ridiculous review earlier cost them a review which would have been successful.

I would have put in De Grandhomme ahead of Watling.

Yep. We don't need to bat for time, just runs, to have a crack at a win. We can shut up shop if we need to and BJ would be the man if CDG has failed. If it worked we could be on for a win.

Taylor gone 133 for 5. Lead 236.

[sparky]

Lead up to 252.

[Chris B.]

@sparky I can tell by the way these guys are playing this that they're going to set a less challenging target than I'm comfortable with!

300 off 70?

[sparky]

Fragile looking England batting line up. Heavy cloud cover. 5th day pitch. I think England are in for a tough 60 overs or so.

[sparky]

Umbrellas out. Light rain at Lords.

[sparky]

Nicholls out for 23. Skied a reverse sweep. 159 for 6. Lead of 262.
