You’re right about one thing Washington the game will be over shortly after lunch (or sooner)

What a catch what a fucking catch.

Had to fire up Sky Go on my mobile at work when I saw that post! Managed to catch the replay.

No excuses now England - we should see this out. Still worried if Jadeja goes into counter-attack mode though

The crowd look likes 50/50 support that’s brilliant

He might run out of partners at this rate

Hope so!

Just noticed Reddy has a test century to his name so he's not exactly a tailender

Counter attacking will be very tough on this pitch - so long as we KEEP BOWLING IN THE RIGHT AREAS

A brilliant first hour! Wasn't expecting that. The Stokes ball was exceptional, the sort of movement we've seen from Bumrah. Big call not to give Carse the ball initially, but the right call. And now he will come in fired up and wanting his piece of the action.

Carse has to bowl like last night

Time for an over of spin? India left it too late to give Sundar a bowl (over 37) and he took 4 wickets. Make a man out of Bashir

Balls getting softer and looks like woakes it’s the end of him for England

That’s the only part of the game I’m worried about at this moment. I just don’t see what the England management see in him. Must be something we don’t get to see

India going nowhere here. Last 10 overs 22 runs. Seem content just to block until lunch which is a dangerous thing to do

Agreed. On a surface like this one will have your name on it eventually.

Get these bastards out quick and laugh in their faces the bunch of whining wankers, proper pissed me off these in this test

Playing a sensible game, taking no risks…..

 

[BringBackSwales]

Give the spinner a couple of overs

Edit - didn’t realise the soft test was off the field. It’s not even his bowling hand that’s injured, soft ****

 

[waspish]

We get one of these the other two should be bit quicker

Now woakes needs to blow well here

I’d have liked another before lunch though

Patience people, patience. Keep the field tight and don’t leak runs, bowl straight and eventually the pitch will do something

This is going the same way as the Edgbaston test in the ashes all those years ago. Who’s going to blink first.
