It's created a great test match still though!

Spot on.

The team is pretty much Stokes and Root.

Everyone else is replaceable.

Think Duckett, Brook and Smith are all good solid Test batsmen aswell. Bowling looks the issue, hopefully we can keep Jof fit.

If there's a God, Duckett to catch Siraj!

Just seen that Cook catch (it wasn't that easy, actually). And I have to ask myself, why on earth does Bumrah fall for that? Why aren't tail enders content to simply stay in their lane, be the handmaiden to the guy who's shepherding their whole team towards victory, blocking everything that looks suspicious, not wafting at anything that's a bit too wide, and getting the odd single here and there? Otherwise being very happy to bat out maidens and let the run-getter get back on strike?
It just seems like the ego takes over with batsmen. Bumrah seemed to decide, “Fuck it, I'm going to whack this for six and say a big fuck you to England”. It was never on, that shot.

Hussein willing India on. :-(

That’s a brilliant 50, considering the circumstances.

No, he’s not.

He said he wanted another close catcher on the leg side a few minutes ago.

I remember Clive Lloyd asking them to tone it down a bit.

An absolute gent. And an absolute tiger at cover point. The best I've seen.

Less than 40 needed. Oh my god…..

Brilliant, then his knees went and he was banished to the slips.

It's torture!

He is a bit more pro India than England imo.

Jadeja gone off for a poo?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fucking hell I’ve been desperate for a shit for an hour and a quarter and I’ve managed to hang on, despite tea being delayed

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

This poo break make may help England here. Break in concentration

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Might get a crack with the second new ball at this rate.
