37th over: England 156-0 (Crawley 57, Duckett 86) Target 371 Having made sure not to give it away this morning, Crawley is growing into the afternoon, and when Bumrah overpitches, he clouts through midwicket and to the fence. Four dots follow, then a two when Crawley turns to deep square, and that might be end of spell. England are easing to this, at least until the inevitable collapse.
“With regards to your trees as inanimate objects musings,” begins Alex Lee, “I’ve just finished The Overstory by Richards Powers - highly recommend - and I think several of the characters would not be pleased with this. Much like test cricket, a matter of seeing on different timescale.”
I’m glad someone’s pulled me up on this. I didn’t have time to find a better word than “inanimate”, nor to talk about the way trees communicate, so thanks, I agree. I love trees.
