    I suggest batting first, scoring quickly and then declaring when it gets dark.

    I doubt it'll swing as much in the dark*

    I don't understand why it's possible to play test cricket with a red ball under lights if there's bad light, but not possible to play with a red ball under lights if it's dark.

    The whole thing is a nonsense if you ask me.

    All cricket matches should be played with a red Duke ball.

    Not a bad call against this bowling attack! If Stokes and Bairstow get in against this bowling we could rack up 400 odd today, in fact we might anyway!
