Anyhoo - back to the Test Match............ anyone think we might be in for a long day in the field?

Yes, these two going very well.

Would Foakes have taken that nick?

You're conflating two different things. Changing from round the wicket to over the wicket and vice versa does not change in angle between the path of the ball and the alignment of batsman, because any competent batsman changes his alignment to match where the bowler is going to be.

But there is, of course, a small change in angle relative to the alignment of the crease lines and the stumps. But this is small and irrelevant for anything other than lbw decisions. If you know your geometric calculus it;s straightforward to calculate the effective change in cross-section of the stumps by calculating the cross product between the vector width of the stumps and the path of the ball - I'm not going to do the maths but the answer is that a 5 degree change in angle results in a negligible change in cross-section.

Does this get scribbled on the tactics board at your anonymous Cambridgeshire club where no one owns a bat?

More tripe

Nice change of angle from Curran there

If you know your geometric calculus

Oh, please tell me more about 'geometric calculus'...

lol. Over your head, so you just instinctively dismiss it as tripe. How incredibly predictable.

I think that would be off-topic. If you're genuinely interested, Why don't you open a vector calculus thread and I'll answer any question you have on the topic.

On the other hand, that Curran kid is amazing!

One of my favourite tweets of the test match.... the Sam Curran bowling face.....

As much as I'd be amused reading you try explain why you need to use calculus to solve a simple trig problem, it might be a bit off piste even for CBF!

'mon the all-rounders, great breakthrough by Curran and Stokes gets one too

Why can't England find a number 3 who bats like Punjara

Why is Rashid in the team again?

Why is Rashid in the team again?

Because there's no-one better? (Maybe Jack Leach at a push?)

I think my point is we've turned to Moeen as the spinner rather than Rashid for him to then take a wicket
