The highlights are taking longer than the actual match

That looks like the shot Jofra Archer was attempting earlier. Only better executed.

A lot of straight balls getting wickets....
The King of Spain would have taken one more than Jim Laker

Interesting comments from Simon hughes on C4 about the pink ball skidding on than the red ball and also about how DRS has made the stumps bigger in the mind of the umpire

yes, it was a good point, umps much more likely to put the finger up, ask Tuffers.

Stats on that came up on TMS yesterday. Pre-DRS (e.g. Tuffers, Bedi) left arm spinners had 8% of their wickets from LBW. Post-DRS LBWs constitute ~20% of left arm spinners wickets.
It's made a huge difference.
Afraid that was a disappointing match overall. I'm readjusting now. That pitch is poor. Game over in 1.5days.

Yeah it's bad for test cricket in this country - first opportunity for test cricket on free telly for 15 years, a day/night match when people are at home due to lockdown and it's over in a day and half.
Not great for cricket.
