This is the 106th one as no-one seems to understand that England Women performed 6 Test suits here between 1937 (with the first rate Eileen Whelan who at 105 rang the bell at Lord s final Sunday) and 1976 (2 wins 4 attracts in case you re involved). So it s both the 106th Test or the one centesimal Men s Test. Both manner I m hoping to experience an amazing day on the Oval on Saturday despite the fact that after closing Sunday at Lord s it s bound to be a as an alternative tame affair :-) Facebook Twitter Google plus Share Share this submit Facebook Twitter Google plus near 12.12pm BST 12:12 fifteenth over: England 44-1 (Cook 28 Westley 16) Faf du Plessis aborts his test with spin and turns to Chris Morris who bounced Cook out when they closing met. Morris starts offevolved with a wide a proper wide huge within the exquisite way of life of Steve Harmison who happens to be on the Oval today. A maiden specially because Cook slightly had to play the ball. The bowling figures come up at the display screen and Philander s are resplendent: 4-3-2-1.

And that s liquids with honours even at this early degree. It s been quietly fascinating. An e-mail from Kim Thonger. I do have a few words of German even though I hardly ever use them inside the proper order and I don t recognize a phrase for sluggish regular assault. But it s continually struck me that fielding positions could sound enormously jolly in German. Silly short rectangular leg for instance is probably something like dumme kurze quadratische bein which has a lovable cadence don t you believe you studied? Hard to argue.

On comes Maharaj for an exploratory over. Westley performs an expansive cowl power to attain double figures and a whipped on force for 4 more. He is looking the component. An email from Steve Hudson picking up on the eighth over. To be pedantic docs don t use stethoscopes to probe matters. A higher evaluation might be a scalpel a lancet a drill bit rasps trocars a ligasure an harmonic scalpel surgical scissors or rongeurs. That is the desirable face of pedantry.

When he pitches it up extra Rabada beats Cook s prod. The cameras find Sir John Major who now looks as if a representative of a golden age of sanity and information. Rabada launches one at Cook and is going near.

On every other day that would have gone down gully s throat; right here it is going for 2. Morkel beats Cook too however Cook escapes with a nudged single. Westley then survives a noisy attraction for LBW saved with the aid of a nick. An e-mail from Tom Bowtell. Historic day: Westley is the primary Tom to seem for England on account that Graveney s remaining cover pressure back in June 1969. You Tims have had limitless Bresnans Ambroses and Curtises (Curti?) at some point of this time. Endless? They hardly ever played. And we had Tim Henman too.

Cook receives multiple freebies on leg stump and hits one of them for a crisp 4. He appears inside the sector says Shane Beard. A lot calmer today. On e-mail Gareth Fitzgerald choices up the Oval baton. I loved the 1997 Ashes Test even though it was a useless rubber. Phil Tufnell spinning England to victory. A recalled Mark Ramprakash scoring a essential forty eight in the 2nd innings when the fellow he changed had been criticised for scoring meaningless second-innings runs. Devon Malcolm beginning the bowling and pinning Matt Elliot right now inside the 2d innings and Andy Caddick going all show pony.

His first 20 minutes as an worldwide cricketer have long gone nicely. On e mail John Starbuck is lower back for a 2d spell choosing up on Bob O Mara s quip from the 6th over. Given Merkel s recognition there s certainly a single word in German for slowly sporting down the competition with a steady controlled attack. Probably vernonphilander .

He s off the mark with a handsome clip for four off Morkel sweetly timed thru square leg. And while Morkel bounces him he sees it early and ducks decisively. It must assist that he s used to batting with Cook not like so a number of the top-order batsmen England have summoned in the beyond 3 years. Westley receives off the mark.

Westley dealing with Morkel for the primary time produces a stable forward protecting. A tweet from David Pearce. Best Oval Test absolutely 1976. 291 from Viv Richards in his pomp 14 wickets for Holding 203 for Dennis Amiss. Unmatchable. And England used six slow bowlers.

An e mail from John Starbuck. Tim I simply heard that this pitch is one of the maximum wet (apologies to Rob Smyth if he s reading for using this bugbear word) they ve regarded. The batsmen will ought to lump it as ever however does this impact the bowling choices? Well yes. It s part of the purpose why England don t feel they want the second one spinner.

Textbook stuff. Merkel retorts with a shorter ball in at the groin; if it hurts Cook isn t going to expose it. To the ultimate ball that is quicker Cook ends up gambling French cricket.

He maintains him out as a substitute uncertainly. The early feeling is that England will do properly to get to lunch with simplest down. A tweet from Paddy Blewer. Oval has created a few incredible #cricket moments. 2005 is cliché. Viv s last check with Tuffers and Syd Lawrence changed into remarkable. Ah sure 1991 superb amusement.

His first delivery is a lifter that Alastair Cook can without difficulty leave; the second one is immediately blocked on off stump; the 0.33 actions away and beats the bat. The fourth takes the brink as Cook receives forward: it squirts via the vacant fourth slip to the similarly vacant 1/3 man.

He is running with who is selected and the group are a younger institution who're aggressive with the bat. If that s what you ve got to work with then the manner to go is to refine their approach. That takes time and enjoy of failure. Anyway - shouldn t Chris be some place else incomes that 2m rather than emailing right here? And here s Jonathan Taylor who sets a satisfactory instance by way of pronouncing where he's (Montrose in Scotland). So the England batsmen fail to carry out
