That always looked like it might be moving day. Someone needed a move. Two hundred, knocking on two fifty ahead. Only three down. Root still in. Stokes & Bairstow still to come. England moved. Game alive. I'll give some hands to Vince & Stoneman. Remembering Stoneman has already been told to fuck off earlier in the tour. He's getting past the first change. He's getting deep into the new ball. That's what he's there for. He was an important mover on moving day.

As was Vince. New nickname proposal - The Dodgy Motor. Because he's always out on the drive. Did himself favours today. Third out at 165, with 76 off 128 balls.

Cassels & Sons, Extra Pale Ale from a bottle at 4.9%. Full of flavour. Lots of citrus going off. Simple beer, which delivers.

three boys brewery IPA from a bottle at 5.2%. Quite malty. But, pleasantly so. Gives a backbone for the hop bitterness to fire off. More salad leaf than rich & intense. Nice, but ooommmppphhh required.
