Yeah, but they got to 37 for none.
Crawley gets a decent delivery.
He may look back and think, I could have left it on length.
Nipped away from him and he nicked it.
And then you get Ollie Pope comes in at number three.
It's just so frustrating on such a good pitch.
He still looks...
a bit chaotic.
He was driving on the up to one that nipped back in, nowhere near a drive length.
His head is falling over to the offside.
Lyon comes on for his first over.
Now they're 37 for one, 40 for one.
What I want from my number three is either to put pressure back on,
like Ricky Ponting, Viv Richards, David Gower, those number threes, or to be like Jonathan Trott and silence the moment and just ease the dressing room and remind everyone they've got a wicket, but this is still a very good pitch.
He strikes me as someone who doesn't do that.
Way outside off, chips it to short mid-wicket.
Now you're 41 for two on a flat one, and everyone's thinking, did we read this wrong?
No, it's still a flat pitch.
But we're making it look like it's a bit of a minefield.
I thought it was good captaincy to bring him on early with a hard ball.
