94th over: England 545-4 (Brook 43, Stokes 8) Brook plays an audacious upper cut to a Chivanga short ball and is DROPPED on the boundary at deep third. Not the best effort from the sub fielder – the wonderfully named Wellington Masakadza. Brook pulverises the next ball for four with a rasping cut shot. He hit that so hard the fielder barely moved in the deep.
Speaking of names, Gareth Wilson drops a missive into the OBO mailbag:
“Hi James- very sad to see Zak Crawley has no middle initial. Will never be an England all timer without at least one of those. Think IT Botham, GA Gooch, PBH May and of course the deliberate MC Cowdrey. Feels sad for the young Crawley to miss out.”
I’m a no middle name man myself Gareth and that isn’t the only reason I’m not an England great. My daughter calls middle names ‘fiddle names’. Which is quite cute… and they can be fiddly. Cherrington anyone?
