Barmy antics on the Terrace

ENGLAND'S hopes of winning the Test match had looked dead and buried.

But the Western Terrace remained alive and kicking.

And I'm relieved to report one of the most notorious stands in the whole of sport was on its best behaviour. For a change!

Unlike the England team itself. Up until a gripping fightback, Ben Stokes & Co had threatened to take supporters on a trip back to the 1990s, when England could not win a one-ticket raffle, let alone a Test match.

But thankfully those on the Terrace didn't follow suit.

Back in 1996 ECB bosses awaited a report into crowd trouble during the second Test between England and Pakistan.
