Atkinson back in the the squad has a five for! He has been great!

Crawley Ducket do your part get a 50 partnership

At least we mopped them up quickly this morning. We'll find out soon enough how good a score that is

The last 4 Indian wickets mopped up for 20 runs this morning. Excellent work, particularly by Atkinson, who looked very dangerous. Now let's see how England cope on that pitch.


175 all out?

[jimharri]

Crawley on that pitch should be, er, interesting.

Overton on the other hand……

Well; he's got to double figures!

Makes such a difference from Carse. Really hope we are fully fit for the ashes with Atkinson, Archer, Wood and Stokes. We just need to not flog them for all 5 tests which I'm worried about given we've played Woakes all series and Carse the first 4.

The drop off from those 4 is quite big imo.

great over from Deep and Duckett, the bowler putting the batter in all sorts of tough spots, until Duckett swats him over the rope for 6!! England dominate the first hour.

 

[hcblue95]

Shot that

That's the follow on avoided anyway!

England are flying along.

Over six an over; double India's run rate.

Correction. More than seven/over. 51 after seven.

Decent going so far, considering the wicket has been a tricky one. Try and get as much of the deficit knocked off as quick as possible before the wickets start to tumble!

Great to see. Not quite sure what the rush is, mind. Seeing as occupation of the crease, and wiping time off the game (seeing we're 2-1 up) is the most important thing, is attack necessary? Bat until at least tea tomorrow. Even at say 4 rpo, we'd be nearly, what 200 - 250 ahead (?), with four sessions left. Barring a ludicrous England collapse in the 4th innings, I don't see how India could win from there.

But it's great entertainment!

If the ball is there to be hit, hit the fucking thing.

Second innings going to be hard to bowl them out with only 3 front line bowlers, one of whom is Overton, so agree we should take time out of the game

 

[waspish]

Great start look flat the way they are batting

I bet Nasser won't agree with you!
